Book chat: The death of a judge (Lev Tolstoy) - WAITING LIST

Fri, 13 Nov 2026 · 10:00
Muntpunt, Zinneke 1, +2 (Schildknaapgebouw), Brussels
About the book Ivan Golovín is a man in his mid-forties who has steadily climbed the social ladder of Russia. He is not very empathetic towards his wife and generally indifferent to other people around him. While hanging curtains in a new apartment, he has a small accident that nevertheless causes a fatal injury. As his life slowly and painfully moves towards death, Ivan begins to fight against what he considers an unfair fate. Only at the end does he see how he could have lived differently and authentically. 'The Death of a Judge' (also translated as 'The Death of Ivan Iljitsj') is one of the most celebrated works of the Russian master Lev Tolstoi (also Leo Tolstoj). The core of the story is the investigation into life and death, and how man can come to terms with the inevitable. Find this book in the Muntpunt catalog: NL / e-book NL / Daisy-audiobook NL Over Boekbabbel Al more than ten years the Book Chat has been meeting every month in Muntpunt. Everyone is welcome. For each book there are two sessions: one on Tuesday (14:00 - 16:00) and one on Friday (10:00 - 12:00). This way everyone can have their chat. Attention! Due to the success of the Book Chat, we work with a waiting list. Do you want to be part of this permanent group? Then sign up for the waiting list. As soon as a spot becomes available, we will notify you.
