Über diesen Titel

 In Fathers and Sons, Ivan Turgenev masterfully explores the widening chasm between generations in 19th-century Russia through the lens of his iconic characters. The novel introduces Yevgeny Bazarov, often hailed as the first Bolshevik, whose nihilistic stance and rejection of traditional values symbolize the clash between the old order and the emerging nihilist movement. Written in response to the cultural divide between the liberals of the 1830s/1840s and their radical successors, Turgenevs work also juxtaposes these progressive ideologies with the conservative Slavophiles, who championed Russias spiritual heritage. As a pioneering modern novel in Russian literature, Fathers and Sons delves into the complexities of human emotion and duality, particularly through Bazarovs tumultuous relationships with Madame Odintsova and Fenichka. This rich psychological insight paved the way for future literary giants like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, while the novel itself garnered acclaim from prominent Western authors such as Gustave Flaubert and Henry James. Turgenevs influence on Russian literature is profound and enduring.
