Per Google: Tolstoy's Ivan Ilyich leads an orderly Russian life. As he goes through an extreme despair is nevertheless produces a kind of transfiguration, a feeling of immense forgiveness coming from who knows where he reconciles with himself, makes him serenity, and very similar to what we now call the near-death experience.
