Description

Fathers and Children (also translated as Fathers and Sons), published in 1862, is Ivan Turgenev’s most famous novel and a landmark of Russian literature. The novel follows the conflict between the older generation of traditionalists and the younger generation of nihilists, personified by the charismatic and cynical Bazarov. Through its philosophical depth and emotional nuance, Turgenev examines themes of generational tension, ideological upheaval, and the nature of progress. The novel remains a powerful meditation on change, identity, and the human condition.
