Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (Cyrillic: Иван Сергеевич Тургенев) was a novelist, poet, and dramatist, and now ranks as one of the towering figures of Russian literature. His major works include the short-story collection A Sportsman’s Sketches (1852) and the novels Rudin (1856), Home of the Gentry (1859), On the Eve (1860), and Fathers and Sons (1862).
These works offer realistic, affectionate portrayals of the Russian peasantry and penetrating studies of the Russian intelligentsia who were attempting to move the country into a new age. His masterpiece, Fathers and Sons, is considered one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century.
Turgenev was a contemporary with Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy. While these wrote about church and religion, Turgenev was more concerned with the movement toward social reform in Russia.
Three stories of love: (Spring Torrents, Asya, First Love), Ivan Turgenev
Torrents of Spring, also known as Spring Torrents, is a novel by Ivan Turgenev that was first published in 1872. It is highly autobiographical in nature, and centers around a young Russian landowner, Dimitry Sanin, who falls deliriously in love for the first time while visiting the German city of Frankfurt. Written during 1870 and 1871, when Turgenev was in his fifties, the novel is widely held as one of his greatest.
Asya is a story about a tragic love.
First Love is a novella by Ivan Turgenev, first published in 1860. It is one of his most popular pieces of short fiction. It tells the love story between a 21-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy.
Большую часть произведений школьной программы куда интереснее читать во взрослом возрасте, когда лучше понимаешь людей. Тогда можно оценить, насколько глубоко и точно понимает человеческую натуру классик. Неожиданно захватывающий сюжет: с некоторым налетом старомодности, но вполне возможный в наши дни.
Замечательные повести, светлые влюбленные тургеневские девушки... они же чудесные наивные существа
В ответ на их глубокие чувства господин N в "Асе" что-то мямлил, герой "Вешних вод" очень скоро увлекся опытной развратной женщиной, герой "Первой любви" - недозрелый подросток. Единственная сравнительно счастливая "тургеневская девушка" - это Полина Виардо! И все-таки этим девушкам "доставалось" незримо больше, чем тем, кто не способен был на большую любовь! Именно этих "страдающих эгоистов" и можно было бы пожалеть... Но они того не стоят.
Releo tres novelas y con los a?os cambia el orden de mis preferencias. Asia me parece ahora una historia un poco menor, aunque no deja de ser hermosa. Primer amor, que tanto ha gustado, queda en medio. Aguas Primaverales es, en definitiva, una gran obra maestra. Vemos en las tres novelas un Turguenev despojado y cansado de sus preocupaciones sociales. Escríbenos de amor, que tan bien te sale, parece decirle un genio maligno. Todas las novelas son de época, suceden antes del 48, hay una atención al detalle temporal que yo pasé de largo hace a?os, cuando las leí por primera vez (entonces el siglo XIX me parecía una época plana de cien a?os, sin variación alguna, con eternas levita y polainas) se transluce de tal manera una gran nostalgia por los a?os entre 1930 y 1948, cuando reprimido el decembrismo, aun no había fracasado la revolución europea. Los jóvenes podían ser jóvenes, enamorarse, vivir a sus anchas, romperse el corazón sin importancia.
(Since this is three novellas, I will be counting them as three books in my official count. I couldn't find them listed individually except for Kindle books, & I am reading them on paper.)
Punin and Baburin - *** - It was okay. I really liked Punin, but did not really like anyone else. They were interesting, but Punin was lively & wonderful & clever. The story itself is a tragedy, but I do like the use of Pushkin to illustrate the frontier between old & new. Another easy read, but heavy. I must admit though, I loved that the girl had black eyes, & was not a 'Byronic' muse!
