Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818-1883) is an amazing, very Russian writer, whose talent was recognized by his compatriots and great European poets and writers. “A keen and subtle observer, precise to the smallest detail, he paints his heroes as a poet and a painter. He is equally interested in their passions and their facial features… With great skill he paints the physical and moral side of phenomena, creating real pictures of reality…” wrote Prosper Mérimée, the author of “Carmen”.
This book presents the most important aspects of I. S. Turgenev’s work. It includes the novel “Fathers and Sons”, stories and poems in prose.
“My entire story is directed against the nobility as an advanced class. Look at the faces of Nikolai Petrovich, Pavel Petrovich, Arkady. Weakness and lethargy or narrow-mindedness,” this is how Turgenev explains the idea of his novel. Moreover, he takes "precisely the good representatives of the nobility", showing: "If the cream is bad, what about the milk?" Evgeny Bazarov is the main character, a nihilist and commoner, who opposes both liberal and conservative ideas. Uncompromising attitude and the priority of the useful over the beautiful are the two main principles of the young doctor, who became an example to follow for the youth of the 1860s. A stranger to everyone, Bazarov suddenly feels in himself what he deliberately renounced as useless - love. But can he be a slave to his passion?
