Turgenev Ivan: 294 books

Turgenev's first major prose work is a series of twenty-five Sketches: the observations and anecdotes of the author during his travels through Russia satisfying his passion for hunting. His album is filled with moving insights into the lives of those he encounters - peasants and landowners, doctors...

Turgenev's masterpiece about the conflict between generations is as fresh, outspoken, and exciting today as it was in when it was first published in 1862. The controversial portrait of Bazarov, the energetic, cynical, and self-assured `nihilist' who repudiates the romanticism of his elders, shook...

On one level the novel is about the homecoming of Lavretsky, who, broken and disillusioned by a failed marriage, returns to his estate and finds love again - only to lose it. The sense of loss and of unfulfilled promise, beautifully captured by Turgenev, reflects his underlying theme that humanity...

L’adulterio è un tema affascinante, ed è ciò che unisce i racconti di questo libro. Spaziano da Margherita di Navarra a Turgenev, dalla Romania alla Francia, dal marchese de Sade a Joseph Conrad.

Turgenev’s first novel (1857) established some of the author’s favorite themes, including the fate of the intellectual but ineffective “superfluous man,” and the self-conscious woman now known to literature as “the Turgenev maid.” This intense love story reflects Russian society in the wake of the Crimean War, as well as the author’s life. English translation by Constance Garnett.

Turgenev's place in modern European literature is best defined by saying that while he stands as a great classic in the ranks of the great novelists, along with Richardson, Fielding, Scott, Balzac, Dickens, Thackeray, Meredith, Tolstoi, Flaubert, Maupassant, he is the greatest of them all, in the...

TURGENEV was the first writer who was able, having both Slavic and universal imagination enough for it, to interpret modern Russia to the outer world, and Virgin Soil was the last word of his greater testament. It was the book in which many English readers were destined to make his acquaintance about...

Questo romanzo è l'ultimo di Turgenev ed è il romanzo sui giovani populisti russi dell'"andata al popolo". Con quest'opera lo scrittore intendeva concludere il suo percorso letterario e sperava di eliminare le incomprensioni sorte fra lui, la critica e il pubblico fin dai tempi di Padri...

La grandezza di Turgenev è sovrastata e quasi strozzata dalla circostanza anagrafica di essere venuto al mondo in un luogo e in un periodo che stavano per ospitare due giganti della narrativa di ogni tempo come Dostoevskij e Tolstoj: tanto bastò perché la sua notevole fama in vita sfumasse nei...

È probabilmente l'opera più famosa e importante di Turgenev. In essa si affronta la tematica del nichilismo, nella sua accezione ateistica, materialistica, positivistica e rivoluzionaria, una tematica che verrà ripresa, approfondita, criticata dalla letteratura russa degli anni '60 del XIX secolo...

Scritto nel 1862, questo romanzo di Turgenev è considerato dai critici una delle opere esemplari della narrativa del Diciannovesimo Secolo, ma paradossalmente ebbe in Russia meno successo all'epoca della pubblicazione di altri suoi lavori minori. L'opera è tra le più efficaci nel descrivere in...
