About This Book

Published in 1862, Fathers and Sons established Ivan Turgenev as one of the defining voices in literary fiction. The young nihilist Bazarov returns to Russia with his friend Arkady, and the clash between the 'new men' and the old order is played out with devastating elegance. Turgenev's masterpiece coined the term 'nihilist' and remains the most artistically perfect of the great Russian novels. Themes of nihilism, generations, Russia run through the work. The book has received recognition from Times Literary Supplement 1862.
