Abstract

This study is part of the results obtained within the research project Law in Literature: the representation of judges on literary narratives. Thus, based on the theoretical and methodological premises of Law in Literature, and on the notion of “model of judge”, formulated by François Ost, it is discussed the role of the magistrate in the novella The death of Ivan Ilyich, by Leo Tolstoy, first published in 1886. It is made a reconstruction of part of the history of the tsarist law as well as of the conflictual relation between Tolstoy and legal science. At the end of this investigation, it is proposed a reflection on the importance of this novella from the XIX century for the understanding of the interpretative problem of modern law.
