Ivan Turgenev

Turgenev's iconic tale of love and mortality, set in 19th century Tsarist Russia, is a skillfully written sad story of heartache and unrequited love. It is also is one of literature's finest portraits of alienation, loss and hopelessness.

A loose and decidely Russian adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear, set in the countryside, the story concerns the disrespectful treatment the protagonist, Kharlov, receives from his ungrateful daughters and the revenge he eventually wreaks upon them.

Turgenevin syntymästä tulee marraskuussa -18 kuluneeksi 200 vuotta. Nyt on ilmestymässä hänen myöhäisteoksensa jota ei ole aikaisemmin kokonaisuudessaan käännetty suomeksi. Kirja koostuu 83 korkeintaan kahden sivun mittaisesta tekstistä - pisimmät ovat kertomuksia, lyhimmät melkeinpä mietelmiä. Positiivisuusrummutusta kirjassa ei ole - sävy menee välillä kovin synkäksikin. Tyyli on turgenevmaisen kaunista - kirosanoja esiintyy yhden kerran.

First published in 1862, Ivan Turgenev's "Fathers and Sons" is widely considered to be the author's greatest literary achievement. It is a novel about the clash of ideologies of two generations. The older generation, the fathers, represents an upper class whose power and influence is fading and giving way to the younger generation, the sons, who represent an increasing objection to the status quo. This conflict is embodied in the characters of Arkady Nikolaevich Kirsanov and Yevgeny Vasilevich Bazarov, two friends who have meet as students at St. Petersburg University. Arkady has recently graduated and has returned home to his father's small estate in an outlying province of Russia bringing his friend Yevgeny with him. What follows is uneasiness amongst the family when Arkady and Yevgeny's nihilistic views begin to emerge and are shown in conflict with the older generations more traditional views. "Fathers and Sons" is a brilliant work that captures the tension that existed among generations and class in the years leading up to the revolution in Russia. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, follows the translation of Constance Garnett, and includes an introduction by Avrahm Yarmolinsky.

Alexander Vesterlund, Politiken"En trist, trist og smuk, smuk fortælling" WeekendavisenJensen & Dalgaard er glade for i samarbejde med Thomas Bredsdorff at kunne præsentere endnu en titel i serien ’En klassiker til tiden’: Turgenevs Forårsbølger fra 1872 i Vilhelm Møllers oversættelse. Bogen er forsynet med forord ved Thomas Bredsdorff. Wilhelm Møller oversatte det russiske værk fra tysk og satte med sin oversættelse brand i bl.a. Brandes, Bang og J. P. Jacobsen, hvorved grunden for impressionistisk prosa i Danmark blev lagt og denne roman blev en integreret del af den danske litteraturarv.

Ivan Turgenev's Fathers and Sons explores generational differences and their tragic consequences. The story centers around Arkady and Bazarov, two young men who return home from college to a world that has remained static. They have changed but must now redefine old relationships, both their friendship with one another and their relationships with their fathers. The main conflict of the novel is between the nihilistic Bazarov, who espouses a strictly materialistic attitude toward life, and Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov, an uncle of Arkady's, who upholds the aristocratic tradition in the face of Bazarov's ridicule.

Coming back to the "nest" of his family home in Russia after years of fruitless endeavours away from his roots, Lavretsky decides to turn his back on the vacuous salons of Paris and his frivolous and unfaithful wife Varvara Pavlovna. On his return he meets Liza, the daughter of one of his cousins, whom he had known when they were children and who rekindles in him long-smothered feelings of love. News of Varvara's death arrive from France, offering Lavretsky the prospect of a new life, but a cruel twist threatens to shatter his dreams and forces him to re-evaluate his plans. Hailed as a masterpiece of Russian literature, A Nest of the Gentry - Turgenev's most successful and widely read novel, here presented in a new translation by Michael Pursglove - deals with the personal struggles of the individual in a period of turbulent social change.

Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883) was one the best-known Russian novelists of the 19th century. Among his books, "Fathers and Sons" (1862) stands out as a masterpiece. Turgenev's shorter fiction was equally popular. Written in the late 1870s and early 1880s, his "Poems in Prose" are regarded as a classical example of what is now known as flash fiction. The translation has been carefully edited, and the almost always omitted story, "Threshold", which is regarded as one of Turgenev's best, reinstated to its rightful place.
