Sinopsis

After graduating from the University of Petersburg, Arkady Kirsanov returns home to his father, Nikolay, with his friend, Bazarov. But NikolayâÇÖs brother, Pavel, soon becomes upset by the strange new philosophy called 'nihilism' which the young men, especially Bazarov, advocate. Nikolay begins to feel uneasy around his son. To complicate this, Nikolay has taken a servant, Fenechka, into his house to live with him and has already had a son by her. Arkady and Bazarov visit a neighbouring province where they meet two women who begin to pull them apart.Turgenev wrote Fathers and Sons as a response to the growing cultural schism that he saw between liberals of the 1830s and 1840s, and the growing nihilist movement. Both the nihilists (the 'sons') and the 1830s liberals (the 'fathers') sought Western-based social change in Russia. Additionally, these two modes of thought were contrasted with the Slavophiles, who believed that RussiaâÇÖs path lay in its traditional spirituality. TurgenevâÇÖs novel was responsible for popularizing the use of the term nihilism, which became widely used after the novel was published.This case laminate collectorâÇÖs edition includes aáVictorian inspired dust-jacket.
