Diagnosed just weeks before with an unknown-but terminal-illness, the late Court of Justice spent his final days reflecting on his \"most simple and most ordinary\"-and therefore most terrible-life. He did as was expected: worked an important job, garnered moderate wealth, married a slightly demanding woman, and started a family of his own...but had he ever truly \u003ci\u003elived?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by his newfound faith and renewed sense of purpose, Leo Tolstoy's first major post-conversion work of fiction sees a modern unsentimental man face the reality of his own mortality. Not just the act and process of dying, but the physicality of waking up in a body that is doomed to fail, the actuality of the burden he is becoming to his family, and the vulnerability in knowing that ultimately, he-and everyone else-will die alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince our inception in 2020, \u003cb\u003eMint Editions\u003c\/b\u003e has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
