Det unge Rusland

Den 16-årige Vladimir forelsker sig stormende i den lidt ældre nabodatter, den smukke, men uopnåelige Zinaida, en femme fatale, som driver sit spil med mændene i omgangskredsen. Som offer for Zinaidas koketteri svinger Vladimir mellem håb og fortvivlelse uden at ane, hvem der er hans egentlige rival. En smuk og følsom beskrivelse af en ung mands første kærlighed kontrasteret af en kompleks moden kærlighedsaffære. “I denne historie kommer Turgenevs evne til at skabe bemærkelsesværdige vitale karakterer og synspunkter for første gang til fuld udfoldelse …” – The Guardian “Turgenjev er jo på samme tid den største fortæller, vor skønneste lyriker og en stor dramaturg.” – Herman Bang ”Det var denne på én gang konkrete og stemningsbårne kunst, som gjorde Turgenjev til det beundrede forbillede for så mange naturalister i Vesteuropa og Amerika … Hans ideal var det tøjlede, harmoniske kultiverede, sådan som det åbenbares i hans sprog, der aldrig bruger de grelle ord, men flyder i en rolig strøm som en flod, når den nærmer sig havet.” – Carl Stief, Verdens Litteraturhistorie

Den første kærlighed

I kortromanen Forårsbølger (1872) møder læseren den aldrende hovedperson Dmitri Ssanin, der ser tilbage på sin ungdom og sin store kærlighed. Som ung mand rejser han til Tyskland, hvor han møder Gemma, en smuk konditordatter af italiensk herkomst. De forelsker sig i hinanden, og Gemma afskriver en velstillet fremtid og bryder med sin forlovede til fordel for kærligheden til den mindre bemidlede Ssanin. De unge elskende er lykkelige, indtil Ssanin i forbindelse med salget af sin gård til en hovedrig kvinde besnæres og forføres. Forårsbølger tager en vending, da kærlighed og troskab afløses af et begær, der munder ud i tab og evig fortrydelse. “Vilhelm Møllers oversættelse af Ivan Turgenevs vidunderlige Forårsbølger om den ultimative forelskelse og det ultimative tab er mesterlig (…) Turgenev skaber et mesterligt plot omkring nogle begivenheder, der er så små, at de næsten ikke er der. For Ssanin var det disse begivenheder, der formede hans liv, og som til sidst får ham til at sætte alt på ét bræt.” – Politiken, 6 hjerter “[E]n trist, trist og smuk, smuk fortælling om forårets forelskelse, der flammer op, gløder og ender som efterårets aske i et ensomt, aldrende hjerte.” – Weekendavisen “Turgenjev er jo på samme tid den største fortæller, vor skønneste lyriker og en stor dramaturg” – Herman Bang

Forårsbølger

Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883) var den mest europæiske – og den i Vesteuropa mest læste – af de store russiske forfattere i 1800-tallet. Han gik ind for de europæiske værdier og var liberal humanist. Hans prosa flyder elegant i en rolig strøm, poetisk og konkret, og hans personportrætter er dybdeborende. Han beskriver den sociale nød og de dårlige forhold for de lavere klasser i Rusland og regnes for en af de mest betydningsfulde repræsentanter for den russiske realisme. Han var en stor inspiration for det moderne gennembruds forfattere som Herman Bang og J.P. Jacobsen. En jægers dagbog er en samling noveller over fortælleres oplevelser, når han strejfer rundt på sine jagtture. Jagten er dog kun indledningen. Det er de bønder og godsejere, jægeren møder, deres karakter, deres liv og skæbne, der er i fokus i novellerne. Fascinerende og indfølte realistiske fortællinger, som gav læserne, der hovedsageligt var fra overklassen, et indblik i de kummerlige forhold, mange bønder levede under, og i godsejernes ofte despotiske magtudøvelse og vanrøgt. Novellerne, der blev publiceret i et tidsskrift over flere år, og til sidst samlet og udgivet som En jægers dagbog i 1852, gjorde et sådant indtryk, at de blev medvirkende til ophævelsen af det russiske livegenskab i 1866. ”Dén skrivemåde [i En jægers dagbog] skulle danne skole. Ikke så meget på grund af den sociale kritik som i kraft af stemningsmaleriet, som tillader alt at komme ekstremt sansenært til stede.” – Erik Skyum Nielsen, Information. ”Det jeg beundrer allermest ved Deres forfatterskab er det fornemme – noget storslået. De forstår at skildre sandheden uden banalitet, ligefremt og alligevel med empati og – mærkeligt nok – uden på mindste måde at udstille ondskaben.” - Gustave Flaubert i et brev til sin ven Ivan Turgenjev. “Turgenjev er jo på samme tid den største fortæller, vor skønneste lyriker og en stor dramaturg.” – Herman Bang ”Det var denne på én gang konkrete og stemningsbårne kunst, som gjorde Turgenjev til det beundrede forbillede for så mange naturalister i Vesteuropa og Amerika … Hans ideal var det tøjlede, harmoniske kultiverede, sådan som det åbenbares i hans sprog, der aldrig bruger de grelle ord, men flyder i en rolig strøm som en flod, når den nærmer sig havet.” – Carl Stief, Verdens Litteraturhistorie

When Vladimir's turn comes to tell his story, he suggests he write down the story in a notebook because it is a rather long, unusual tale and he is not adept at extemporaneous narration. The other men agree and a few weeks later the story within the story continues with Vladimir reading from his notebook as he recounts the memory of his first love .

Turgenev’s story is a striking example of a narrative that can easily stand the test of time. Portraying the life of a deaf Russian serf who makes a strong relationship with a rescued dog, the short story elaborately explores the problems and life conditions of Russian serfdom. What is more, the story is based on Turgenev’s own experience with a dog, with the rest of the characters modelled after his family members and friends. A tragic, but emotionally deep tale, "Mumu" is an example of the loneliness of human condition against the sad, tortured heart of society.

Mumu

Archaic spelling also translated more literally as Fathers and Children, is an 1862 novel by Ivan Turgenev, one of his best-known works. The fathers and children of the novel refers to the growing divide between the two generations of Russians, and the character Yevgeny Bazarov, a nihilist who rejects 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 Slavophiles, who believed that Russia's path lay in its traditional spirituality.

Fathers and Sons

This vivid, sensitive tale of adolescent love follows a 16-year-old boy who falls in love with a beautiful, older woman and experiences a whirlwind of changing emotions, from exaltation and jealousy to despair and devotion.

I was then five-and-twenty, -that was a sufficient indication that I had a past, said he, beginning. My own master for some little time, I resolved to travel, -not to complete my education, as they said at the time, but to see the world...

First written in 1858, "Home of the Gentry", Ivan Turgenev’s second novel, is an important work that explores the idea of the “superfluous man.” The main theme of the novel is the maladjustment of the upper classes to their native Russian culture. The “superfluous man” is typically a member of the nobility who’s either been educated abroad or educated to worship all things European, and this leads to a complete emotional detachment and alienation from Russian culture. This adoration of Western culture created a long-time debate and split within Russian society’s intelligentsia, and on the other side of the debate was Slavophilism with its disdain for Western culture. "Home of the Gentry" examines the fallout of the distancing of the upper classes from their own country through its main character, Lavretsky. Fyodor Ivanych Lavretsky is a nobleman who shares many traits with Turgenev. The child of a distant, Anglophile father and a serf mother who dies when he is very young, Lavretsky is brought up at his family's country estate home by a severe maiden aunt, often thought to be based on Turgenev's own mother who was known for her cruelty. "Home of the Gentry" was enthusiastically received by the Russian society and remained his least controversial and most widely-read novel until the end of the 19th century. It was turned into a movie by Andrey Konchalovsky in 1969.

In "The Diary of a Superfluous Man," Ivan Turgenev captures the introspective musings of a disenchanted gentleman, embodying the existential malaise of the Russian gentry in the mid-19th century. Written in a poignant diary format, the narrative adopts a confessional style, providing readers with an intimate glimpse into the protagonist's alienation and societal critique. Turgenev adeptly employs lyrical prose and vivid imagery, reflecting the influences of Romanticism while paving the way for Realism, masterfully intertwining personal reflection with broader social commentary on the futility of existence in an increasingly complex world. Ivan Turgenev, a pivotal figure in Russian literature, was deeply influenced by his own experiences of societal disconnection and philosophical exploration in a rapidly evolving Russia. Raised in a privileged yet stifling environment, Turgenev's encounters with urban intellectuals and his extensive travels across Europe enriched his understanding of human nature and the class struggles of his time. These themes resonate throughout the narrative as he presents a poignant portrait of the superfluous man, a figure emblematic of his era's existential quandaries. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersections of identity, class, and societal change. Turgenev's profound insights and emotional depth invite readers to reflect on their own place within the landscape of life, making "The Diary of a Superfluous Man" not only a literary classic but also an enduring exploration of the human condition.

The Diary of a Superfluous Man

"Fathers and Sons" is probably the most famous work of the Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev. The novel addresses ideas of the period more directly than most of his other works and creates debate over these ideas as a conflict of generations. The generation gap between the fathers and sons in the story neatly symbolized the current political debates between the older reactionaries and the younger radicals. Published in 1862 in the Russian magazine, Russkii vestnik (The Russian Herald), under the title, "Ottsy i deti", the novel ignited controversy even before its publication.

First published as a serial in the journal Sovremennik and as a book in 1856, "Rudin" is an essential novel by Russian author Ivan Turgenev. "Rudin" tells of an eloquent intellectual, Dmitry Rudin, a character modelled partly on the revolutionary agitator Mikhail Bakunin, whom Turgenev had known in Moscow in the 1830s. Rudin is a character typical to Turgenev -- a "superfluous" man, weak of will, brimming with indecisive frustration -- and yet tormented by ideals. Rudin’s power of oratory and passionate belief in the need for progress so affect the younger members of a provincial salon that the heroine, Natalya, falls in love with him. But when she challenges him to live up to his words, he fails her. Rudin is made impotent by the dissonance of honouring the older generations while at the same time embracing the new bold epoch of pre-revolutionary Russia The theme of melancholic powerless men coupled with vital idealistic women is prevalent in Turgenev's work, and it would be hard to find a clearer study of the type than "Rudin".

Ivan Turgenev's "Ghosts" is a rare venture into the supernatural for this writer, and all the more precious for it. The story has all the beauty of Turgenev's language, all the power of his description, and a decidedly chilling feel of a true ghost story.

Fathers and Sons (Translated by Constance Garnett with a Foreword by Avrahm Yarmolinsky)

Never had he felt such weariness of body and of spirit. He had passed the whole evening in the company of charming ladies and cultivated men; some of the ladies were beautiful, almost all the men were distinguished by intellect or talent; he himself had talked with great success, even with brilliance… and, for all that, never yet had the taedium vitae of which the Romans talked of old, the 'disgust for life,' taken hold of him with such irresistible, such suffocating force.

On the Eve is the third novel by famous Russian writer Ivan Turgenev, best known for his short stories and the novel Fathers and Sons.

Elena takes Insarov's body to the Balkans for burial and then vanishes.

On The Eve...

Home of the Gentry is a novel by Ivan Turgenev published in the January 1859 issue of Sovremennik. It was enthusiastically received by the Russian society and remained his least controversial and most widely read novel until the end of the 19th century. It was turned into a movie by Andrey Konchalovsky in 1969.

VIRGIN SOIL by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818-1883) is his last and longest novel. In it he finally says everything yet unsaid on the subject of social change, idealism and yet futility of revolutions, serfs and peasants, and the upper classes. The hero, Nezhdanov -- the disillusioned young son of a nobleman -- and the Populist movement are young idealists working to bridge the gap between the common people and the nobility, and through them Turgenev works out his own troubled thoughts about social reform and tradition, vitality and stagnation. The ideas of gradual reform shown here are eventually to be supplanted by the extremism of the Russian Revolution -- but that is yet to come.

Virgin Soil

Rudin, by Ivan Turgenev, is a Russian fiction classic and a nostalgic story of a man in his late twenties, torn between his much loved but barbaric homeland and a comfortable but unsatisfactory life in Europe. Translated by Constance Garnett, 1894 edition. The novel begins with the introduction of three of the characters – Aleksandra, Lezhnev, and Pandalevskii. Pandalevskii relates to Aleksandra Dar'ya Mikhailovna's invitation to come and meet a Baron Muffel'. Instead of the Baron, Rudin arrives and captivates everyone immediately with his intelligent and witty speeches during the argument with Pigasov.

A nobleman and landowner named Ivan Lavretsky returns to Russia after leaving his faithless wife in France, only to fall in love with a beautiful and pious cousin, Elizaveta Kalitin. When Ivan learns by a newspaper article that his wife is suspected to have died, the way seems clear for him to find happiness with Liza. But her mother, Marya, is much taken with her daughter's other suitor, the cultured Panshin. This is a remarkably thoughtful and unassuming story, but it weaves a wonderful spell. The characters are undemonstrative, very little happens, yet by some quiet magic it manages to be very touching. Ivan and Liza both suffer unconventional, though different, upbringings and educations, neither of which seem to have prepared them for the world very well, dignified as they are. A sad and understated tale.

8 Classic Russian Novels You Should Read [Newly Updated] (Golden Deer Classics)

On the Eve is the third novel by famous Russian writer Ivan Turgenev, best known for his short stories and the novel Fathers and Sons. Turgenev embellishes this love story with observations on middle class life and interposes some art and philosophy. The story revolves around Elena, a girl with a very affected mother and a father who is a retired guards lieutenant and keeps a mistress. On the eve of the Crimean War, Elena is pursued by a free-spirited sculptor (Shubin) and an uptight student (Berzeniev). But when Berzeniev's dashing Bulgarian friend Insarov meets Elena, they soon fall in love.

On the Eve

A DESPERATE CHARACTER AND OTHER TALES is a collection of Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev's stories that spans his career. The six tales were written between 1847 and 1881. "Pyetushkov" (1847), "The Brigadier" (1867), "A Strange Story" (1869), "Punin and Baburin" (1874), "Old Portraits" (1881), and "A Desperate Character" (1881) are a showcase of the classic Russian stylist's work and a study in Russian lyrical fatalism, idealism, and a struggle with issues of will and aspirations.

A Desperate Character and Other Stories

Arkady Kirsanov has just graduated from the University of Petersburg and returns with a friend, Bazarov, to his father's modest estate in an outlying province of Russia. His father, Nikolai, gladly receives the two young men at his estate, called Maryino, but Nikolai's brother, Pavel, soon becomes upset by the strange new philosophy called "nihilism" which the young men, especially Bazarov advocate.

Vladimir Petrovich Voldemar, a 16-year-old, is staying in the country with his family and meets Zinaida Alexandrovna Zasyekina, a beautiful 21-year-old woman, staying with her mother, Princess Zasyekina, in a wing of the manor. This family, as with many of the Russian minor nobility with royal ties of that time, were only afforded a degree of respectability because of their titles; the Zasyekins, in the case of this story, are a very poor family. The young Vladimir falls irretrievably in love with Zinaida, who has a set of several other (socially more eligible) suitors whom he joins in their difficult and often fruitless search for the young lady's favour.

Fathers and Sons is a novel by Ivan Turgenev, and vies with A Nest of Gentlefolk for the repute of being his best novel. Arkady Kirsanov has just graduated from the University of Petersburg and returns with a friend, Bazarov, to his father's modest estate in an outlying province of Russia. His father, Nikolai, gladly receives the two young men at his estate, called Maryino, but Nikolai's brother, Pavel, soon becomes upset by the strange new philosophy called "nihilism" which the young men, especially Bazarov advocate. Nikolai, initially delighted to have his son return home, slowly begins to feel uneasy, and a certain awkwardness in his regard, as it emerges that Arkady's views, much influenced by Bazarov, are radical and make his own beliefs feel dated. Nikolai has always tried to stay as current as possible, by doing things such as visiting his son at school so the two can stay as close as they are, but this in Nikolai's eyes has failed. To complicate this, the father has taken a servant, Fenechka, into his house to live with him and has already had a son by her. Arkady however is not troubled by the relationship: to the contrary, he openly celebrates the acquisition of a younger brother. The two young men stay over at Maryino for some weeks, then decide to visit a relative of Arkady's in a neighboring province. There, they observe the local gentry and meet Madame Anna Sergevna Odintsova, an elegant woman of independent means, who cuts a seductively different figure from the pretentious or humdrum types of her surrounding provincial society of gentry. Both are attracted to her, and she, intrigued by Bazarov's singular manner, invites them to spend a few days at her estate, Nikolskoe. While Bazarov at first feels nothing for Anna, Arkady fall head over heels in love with her.
