La Muerte de Iván Ilich (Ediciones Icónicas) / The Death of Ivan Ilyich

Una novela corta, pero de gran profundidad, que sigue siendo una lectura esencial para comprender las complejidades de la existencia y la universalidad de la muerte. Iván Ilich, un alto funcionario que ha vivido conforme a las expectativas sociales y profesionales de su clase, se enfrenta a una crisis existencial al darse cuenta de que sus logros y su estatus no pueden darle consuelo en sus últimos momentos de cara a una enfermedad terminal. Mientras su salud se deteriora, Iván reflexiona sobre las elecciones que ha hecho y descubre la precariedad de su vida pasada.
