Turgenev Ivan

Rudin

Turgenev Ivan, 2012

Dmitry Rudin, a high-minded gentleman of reduced means, arrives at the estate of Darya Mikhailovna, where his intelligence, eloquence and conviction immediately make a powerful impression. As he stays on longer than intended, Rudin exerts a strong influence on the younger generation, and gradually Darya's daughter, Natalya, falls in love with him. But circumstances soon show whether Rudin has the courage to act on his beliefs, and whether he can live up to the image he has created for himself. Подробнее

Рудин (на английском языке)

Turgenev Ivan, 2011

The first of Turgenev's social novels, Rudin was first translated by Constance Garnett into English in 1894. The main protagonist Dmitri Rudin is a representative of men of that time, being knowledgeable and enthusiastic about new ideas and the search for truth. As S. Stepniak states in his introduction to the text in 1894 Rudin's 'enthusiasm is contagious because it is sincere, and his eloquence is convincing because devotion to his ideals is an absorbing passion with him. He would die for them, and, what is more rare, he would not swerve a hair's-breadth from them for any worldly advantage, or for fear of any hardship.' Despite this Rudin's enthusiasms and attachments lack warmth and compassion. He views the world and its people through the books he has studied and at the first test to his strength of purpose he fails. Dmitri Rudin remains therefore a character full of contradictions but it is these contradictions that make him real and one of Turgenev's greatest achievements. Подробнее

A Lear of the Steppes and Other Stories

Turgenev Ivan, 2011

In A Lear of the Steppes and Other Stories Martin Petrovitch, believing he has dreamed of his own impending death, transfers ownership of his estate to his two daughters. Turgenev's short story version of Shakespeare's King Lear, follows his protagonist from that fatalistic submission to the cataclysm of cruelty, betrayal and violence that follows. Three tales written by Turgenev in Constance Garnett's classic 1898 translation include: A Lear of the Steppes, Faust and Acia. This title comes with an introduction by Edward Garnett. Подробнее

Fathers and Children

Turgenev Ivan, 2013

Fathers and Children, arguably the first modern novel in the history of Russian literature, shocked readers when it was first published in 1862 — the controversial character of Bazarov, a self-proclaimed nihilist intent on rejecting all existing traditional values and institutions, providing a trenchant critique of the established order. Turgenev's masterpiece investigates the growing nihilist movement of mid-nineteenth-century Russia — a theme which was to influence Dostoevsky and many other European writers — in a universal, and often hilarious, story of generational conflict, and the clash between the old and the new.

Faust

Turgenev Ivan, 2013

In a series of nine letters, the narrator tells his friend how he introduced Vera Nikolayevna, a married woman who had been forbidden as a child to read fiction and poetry, to the intellectual pleasures of Goethe's masterpiece. Opening up in front of Vera's eyes is not only the realm of imagination, but also a world of unbridled feelings and tempestuous passions, which can only shatter the comfort and safety of her existence and force her to set off on a journey of spiritual awakening.

Fathers and Sons

Turgenev Ivan, 1998

This new translation by Richard Freeborn makes Turgenev's masterpiece about the conflict between generations seem as fresh, outspoken, and exciting as it was to those readers who first encountered its famous hero. The controversial portrayal of Bazarov, the 'nihilist' or 'new man', shocked Russian society when the novel was published in 1862. The image of humanity liberated by science from age-old conformities and prejudices is one that can threaten establishments of any political or religious persuasion, and is especially potent at the present time. Richard Freeborn is the first translator to have had access to Turgenev's working manuscript. An appendix contains the first English translation of some of Turgenev's preparatory sketches for the novel. Подробнее

Virgin Soil

Turgenev Ivan, 2014

Turgenev's final novel, Virgin Soil traces the destinies of several middle-class revolutionaries who seek to «go to the people» by working on the land and instilling democratic ideas in the countryside's locals. They include the daydreaming impoverished young tutor Nezhdanov — employed by the liberal councillor Sipyagin and his vain and beautiful wife Valentina — the naive young radical Maryanna and the progressive factory manager Solomin. Their liaisons, intrigues and conspiracies, set against the backdrop of Tsarist Russia, form the matter of Turgenev's most ambitious and elaborate work, which cemented the author's place in the West as Russia's foremost novelist while at the same time proving controversial at home — culminating in the arrest of fifty-two real-life revolutionaries barely a month after it was published.

First Love and, the Diary of a Superfluous Man

Turgenev Ivan, 2011

Both provide superb introductions to the author's keen social perception, rich characterization, and narrative command. Подробнее

Накануне

Тургенев Иван, 2012

Заглавие своего произведения сам автор объяснял так: «Повесть «Накануне» названа мною так ввиду времени ее появления (1860 — за год до освобождения крестьян)... Новая жизнь началась тогда в России — и такие фигуры, как Елена и Инсаров, являются провозвестниками этой новой жизни». Небывалый общественный подъем накануне коренных преобразований в жизни России и послужил непосредственным стимулом к работе над романом. Тургенев занят поиском положительного героя — молодого, сильного, с новой идеологией, «сознательно-героической натуры». По свидетельствам современников писателя, революционно настроенная молодежь 1860-1870-х годов подражала Елене и Инсарову. Однако роман не случайно открывается спором о счастье и долге. Елене и Инсарову кажется, что их любовь служит высшей цели. Но сама жизнь вступает в противоречие с надеждами и чаяниями героев. Их историю любви Тургенев завершает финалом, который, по словам А.П. Чехова, «полон трагизма». Подробнее
