When first published in 1862, this novel of a divided Russia, with peasants set against masters and fathers set against sons, caused great outrage. But its enduring legacy of social insight and conscience mixed with drama has given it universal appeal. Written about a "superfluous" man who was trapped between ideologies in 19th century Russia, when the young "nihilists" were at odds with the old-line liberals, "Fathers and Sons" is relevant in any age. There are always going to be clashes between generations and between those who hope for the "destruction" of an old edifice for an only partially imagined design for a new one. Ivan Turgenev presents us with perhaps the most truthful representation of this timeless, generational conflict. Of the greats in Russian literature--Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, and Pushkin, Turgenev gets his point across best of all. "Fathers and Sons" ranks with Turgenev's "Sketches from a Hunter's Album" as one of the most perfectly written and deeply moving books ever written. A reader with a good knowledge of Russia will not fail to appreciate this novel, and may not even be able to put it down, not so much from being riveted to an adventurous plot, but from being captivated by the sublime, marvelous beauty of Turgenev's prose. "Fathers and Sons" is a very powerful book, eye-opening and profoundly sad, which every reader will appreciate. The art involved in creating "Fathers and Sons" is what makes it a truly amazing and valuable piece of literature. Each character has characteristics that are very human. The thoughts, ideas, and ideals of the very different characters are the entirety of the plot. Turgenev does such an incredible job of creating conflict, that he doesn't need to place the characters in any action in order to attract the reader. A must read for any fan of Russian literature

Notă biografică

Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev was born in 1818 in the Province of Orel, and suffered during his childhood from a tyrannical mother. After the family had moved to Moscow in 1827 he entered Petersburg University where he studied philosophy. When he was nineteen he published his first poems and, convinced that Europe contained the source of real knowledge, went to the University of Berlin. After two years he returned to Russia and took his degree at the University of Moscow. In 1843 he fell in love with Pauline Garcia-Viardot, a young Spanish singer, who influenced the rest of his life; he followed her on her singing tours in Europe and spent long periods in the French house of herself and her husband, both of whom accepted him as a family friend. He sent his daughter by a sempstress to be brought up among the Viardot children. After 1856 he lived mostly abroad, and he became the first Russian writer to gain a wide reputation in Europe; he was a well-known figure in Parisian literary circles, where his friends included Flaubert and the Goncourt brothers, and an honorary degree was conferred on him at Oxford. His series of six novels reflect a period of Russian life from 1830s to the 1870s: they are Rudin (1855), A House of Gentlefolk (1858), On the Eve (1859; a Penguin Classic), Fathers and Sons (1861), Smoke (1867) and Virgin Soil (1876). He also wrote plays, which include the comedy A Month in the Country; short stories and Sketches from a Hunter’s Album (a Penguin Classic); and literary essays and memoirs. He died in Paris in 1883 after being ill for a year, and was buried in Russia.
