内容简介
Book Description
Turgenev's masterpiece about the conflict between generations is as fresh, outspoken, and exciting today as it was in when it was first published in 1862. The controversial portrait of Bazarov, the energetic, cynical, and self-assured `nihilist' who repudiates the romanticism of his elders, shook Russian society. Indeed the image of humanity liberated by science from age-old conformities and prejudices is one that can threaten establishments of any political or religious
persuasion, and is especially potent in the modern era.
This new translation, specially commissioned for the World's Classics, is the first to draw on Turgenev's working manuscript, which only came to light in 1988.
Synopsis
This "Critical Edition" of "Fathers and Sons", translated and edited by Michael R. Katz, is accompanied by a selection of Turgenev's letters, illustrating his involvement in the critical storm that surrounded "Fathers and Sons" upon its publication in 1862. It also includes 16 critical essays that cover various themes such as: the issue of translation; Turgenev's liberalism and his attitude towards nihilism and revolution; Turgenev's use of imagery; the role of women; the conflict of generations and the impact of science. A chronology and selected bibliography are also provided.
From AudioFile
Turgenev's masterpiece about the generation gap gives us endless philosophizing in the Russian style and endearing, unforgettable characters. British actor David Horovitch wonderfully impersonates the dramatis personae, communicating their full dimension. As in the novel, Bazarov, the arrogant, young nihilist with a heart of gold, steals the show. Anyone intrigued but daunted by those weighty Russian novels should start with this tape. Y.R.
