Scenes from another notable novel is from "Anna Karenina" which is shown in the next slide below.



The last novel scenes from "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" was shown in the 6th and 7th slide below.



The last slide is Leo himself and in the background like a forest which looks like his grave site at Yasnaya Polyana.
