When a young graduate returns home he is accompanied, much to his father and uncle's discomfort, by a strange friend "who doesn't acknowledge any authorities, who doesn't accept a single principle on faith." Turgenev's masterpiece of generational conflict shocked Russian society when it was published in 1862 and continues today to seem as fresh and outspoken as it did to those who first encountered its nihilistic hero.

This new translation, specially commissioned for the Oxford World's Classics, is the first to draw on Turgenev's working manuscript, which only came to light in 1988.

One of the Best Russian Novels of the 19th CEntury

ByLee Farrowon May 26, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

One of the best Russian novels of the nineteenth century, and a great place to start for anyone looking to dive into Russian literature. Set in mid-nineteenth century Russia, the novel tells the reader a great deal about life and society of the period, as well as the intellectual movements affecting Russian life and society. Moreover, and what makes this novel so enjoyable and easy to read for anyone, it contains universal themes about love and relationships between parents and children, and how those change as children grow and come to view their parents differently. I've read it probably a dozen times and love it as much each time. I can't recommend it enough. I assign it to my classes and students always like it too.
