This edition includes the early works of I. S. Turgenev, revealing the most important motifs of his work—fate, duty, loneliness, the search for happiness, and others. They also reveal Turgenev's distinctive approach to revealing the inner world of his characters, which later became known as "secret psychologism." "A poet must be a psychologist," Turgenev said, "but a secret one: he must know and sense the roots of phenomena, but he imagines only the phenomena themselves—in their bloom or decline." A sense of loneliness and despair characterizes Turgenev's "superfluous men"—characters unable to find a use for their strength, knowledge, and talent. But a sense of hopelessness is characteristic not only of individualists and rebels, but also of the common man. Thus, in the story "Mumu," based on real events, Turgenev's personal drama rises to the level of a universal tragedy. It is no coincidence that I. S. Aksakov considered the image of Gerasim to be “the personification of the Russian people, its terrible strength and incomprehensible meekness.”
