When N—— met Annouchka. A graceful story of innocence, love, coming of age, and friendship, set between two picturesque towns on the banks of the Rhine. - Summary by Rapunzelina

When Arkady Petrovich comes home from college, his father finds his eager, naive son changed almost beyond recognition, for the impressionable Arkady has fallen under the powerful influence of the friend he has brought with him. A self-proclaimed nihilist, the ardent young Bazarov shocks Arkady's father by criticising the landowning way of life and by his outspoken determination to sweep away the traditional values of contemporary Russian society.

At the end of a dinner party, the remaining guests drink wine and tell stories of their first love. For one of them, it will be a dark journey into his past, reawakening unbearable memories of his obsession with the beautiful Zinaida.

Sullo sfondo delle vaste e silenziose campagne della Russia rurale, il ritorno a casa di due giovani laureati, Arkadij e l'enigmatico Bazarov, innesca una tempesta destinata a scuotere le fondamenta di un intero mondo. Tra le mura della tenuta dei Kirsanov, il conflitto non è solo tra generazioni, ma tra due epoche inconciliabili: l'aristocrazia romantica, legata ai valori del passato, e il nichilismo radicale di chi non crede a nulla che non sia dimostrato dalla scienza.

Una novela sobre la lucha de generaciones. Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883) fue uno de los grandes novelistas rusos, pero en su obra se adelanto tanto a su tiempo, por exponer problemas sociales mas que psicologicos, que a pesar de sus grandes meritos nunca fue considerado dentro del puesto que merece su brillante produccion.

Hailed as one of the world's supreme masterpieces on the subject of death and dying, Leo Tolstoy's "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" is the story of a worldly careerist, a high court judge who has never given the inevitability of his death so much as a passing thought. But one day, death announces itself to him, and to his shocked surprise he is brought face to face with his own mortality.

Dalla dolcezza di un'estate nella campagna russa nella prima metà del XIX secolo alla cupa atmosfera di intrigo e magia della corte di Ferrara ai tempi dell'Ariosto. L'innocente amore del giovane Vladimir per la bellissima e affascinante Zinaida, che ai suoi occhi di adolescente incarna l'ideale dell'eterno femminino; la torbida passione di Muzio che, grazie alla magia nera appresa in Oriente, vuole strappare Valeria, che ha respinto il suo amore, a suo marito Fabio.

The novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy was published in 1886 and is considered a masterpiece of his late-period fiction. It tells the story of a high-court judge in 19th-century Russia. He lives a simple, carefree life with his family until he is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Confined to bed, he is disgusted that his family avoids the subject of his death by pretending that he is only sick and not dying. He finds comfort only in Gerasim, the peasant boy who does not fear death.

Turgenev's shy hero, Tchulkaturin, is a representative example of a Russian archetype - the "superfluous man", a sort of Hamlet not necessarily dignified with the title Prince: an individual of comfortable means leading a dreary existence, without purpose and led on by events which may, as in this story, engulf him. The novella takes the form of a diary started by Tchulkaturin in the shock of being diagnosed as having a terminal illness. The journal entries cover a period of two weeks, leading to his death. Tchulkaturin quickly homes in on the only significant event in his life - an ...

Father and Children by Ivan Turgenev is a novel that explores the ideological conflict between the older generation of Russian nobility and the younger, nihilist generation. It's a poignant narrative on the challenges of understanding across generational divides, set against the backdrop of changing Russian society in the 19th century. Through the characters of Bazarov, a self-declared nihilist, and Arkady, his friend and foil, Turgenev delves into themes of love, friendship, and the clash of evolving philosophies.

Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev. The fathers and children of the novel refers to the growing divide between the two generations of Russians, and the character Yevgeny Bazarov has been referred to as the "first Bolshevik", for his nihilism and rejection of the old order. Turgenev wrote Fathers and Sons as a response to the growing cultural schism that he saw between liberals of the 1830s/1840s and the growing nihilist movement. Both the nihilists (the "sons") and the 1830s liberals sought Western-based social change in Russia. Additionally, these two modes of thought were contrasted with ...

The title of the novella is almost an adequate summary in itself. The "boy-meets-girl-then-loses-her" story is universal but not, I think, banal - despite a surprise ending which notoriously turns out to be very little of a surprise. First Love is given its originality and poignancy by Turgenev's mastery of the piercing turning-point (akin to Joyce's "epiphanies") that transforms the character's whole being, making a tragic outcome inevitable. Even the nature symbolism is rescued from triteness by lovely poetic similes - e.g. "but at that point my attention was arrested by the appearance of a ...

World-renowned Russian author Ivan Turgenev brings us a collection of stories that traffic in the world of dreams, stories of lost love, of ephemeral ghosts, of dark premonitions. This collection also contains a sampling of sketches and prose poems written in Turgenev's deceptively simple yet articulate, nuanced and beautifully rendered style. Don't think these are traditional tales of romance and nature. Turgenev laces his prose with a degree of cynicism and melancholy that belies the poetic language employed. (Summary by Ben Tucker)
