turgenev

The two books that really stayed with me the most this year are Father and Sons by Turgenev and 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.

To say otherwise dismisses history and anthropology--which study people separated from us by the much-less bridgeable time--as practical fields.) Dostoevsky and Turgenev consistently portrayed the imperial Russian peasantry in a baseline state of misery.

- Ishiguro - mediocre - Turgenev - mediocre, again - Calvino - despite my love and respect towards a very good friend, his suggestion didn’t work for me, the book felt like - the author knows too well what’s he’s writing and that’s not a good thing.

It’d be amazing to have a searchable graph of “Tolstoi likes Turgenev likes Gustave Flaubert”.

Here’s an example: Tolstoy really admired Turgenev, who was friends with Theodore Storm and Gustave Flaubert, and greatly admired Gogol.

Russian literature from the classics (Turgenev) to mid-century (Bulgakov) and modern, together with Soviet films, are among my favourite genres.

Tolstoy, Turgenev, Dostoevsky and many others wrestled with the implications of this centuries later.

I first encountered it in high-school literature class reading Turgenev's "Fathers and Sons".

In the same category are many of Turgenev’s books ( Sketches remains my favourite) which were written contemporaneously with Russia’s abolition of serfdom.

Turgenev [0], for example, wrote contemporaneously around when the serfs were freed [1].

Turgenev's Fathers and Sons is beautiful and captures the spirit of youth.

This is true for Tolkien, Turgenev, Hemingway or Pound.

I like to recommend Ivan Turgenev's "Fathers and Sons" as it gives a contemporary critical view of the nihilistic and utopian ideologies that shaped Russian intellectual discourse of the 1860s.

Salinger "Bezhin Meadow" by Turgenev "Regulus" or "Mary Postgate" by Kipling "The Prince of Darkness" by J.
