Product Description The story centers around a young Russian landowner named Dimitry Sanin who falls deliriously in love for the first time while visiting the German city of Frankfurt. It is widely held as one Turgenev's greatest novels as well as being highly autobiographical in nature."You saved my brother's life, we want to thank you come to see us this evening: we are so indebted to you mother wants to. You must tell us who you are, you must rejoice with us . . ." "But I am leaving for Berlin today," Sanin faltered out. "You will have time," she said. She was so beautiful. So beautiful. About the Author Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818 1883) was a Russian novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, translator and popularizer of Russian literature in the West. His first major publication, a short story collection entitled A Sportsman's Sketches (1852), was a milestone of Russian realism and his novel Fathers and Sons (1862) is regarded as one of the major works of 19thcentury fiction. Turgenev's artistic purity made him a favorite of likeminded novelists of the next generation, such as Henry James and Joseph Conrad, both of whom greatly preferred Turgenev to Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. James, who wrote no fewer than five critical essays on Turgenev's work, claimed that his merit of form is of the first order (1873) and praised his exquisite delicacy, which makes too many of his rivals appear to hold us, in comparison, by violent means and introduce us, in comparison, to vulgar things (1896). Vladimir Nabokov, notorious for his casual dismissal of many great writers, praised Turgenev's plastic musical flowing prose, but criticized his labored epilogues and banal handling of plots. Nabokov stated that Turgenev is not a great writer, though a pleasant one and ranked him fourth among nineteenthcentury Russian prose writers, behind Tolstoy, Gogol and Anton Chekhov, but ahead of Dostoyevsky. His idealistic ideas about love, specifically the devotion a wife should show her husband, were cynically referred to by characters in Chekhov's An Anonymous Story.Constance Clara Garnett (ne Black; 1861 1946) was an English translator of nineteenthcentury Russian literature. Garnett was one of the first English translators of Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Anton Chekhov and introduced them on a wide basis to the Englishspeaking public.
