A HOUSE OF GENTLEFOLK (1858) by Ivan Sergyevich Turgenev (1818-1883) is the quintessential Turgenev novel of fading Russian nobility, idealistic innocence and disillusionment, against the backdrop of a changing era on the brink of the revolution. Just as he has committed himself to marry an innocent idealistic young woman, Lavretsky is faced with the fallen woman from his past. What follows is heartbreak, in classic Russian style.
