paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. London/New York. 1970. Dent Dutton/Everyman's Library. Reprinted Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0460019880. Translated by Natalie Duddington. Introduction by Nikolay Andreyev. 242 pages. paperback. 1988. Cover design: J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd. keywords: Europe Russia Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Turgenev comes very near the Ideal of the perfect novelist. With his sense of form, his character portrayal related to mood and situation, his play of irony and his ability to juxtapose with complete deftness comic and tragic elements, he was in many ways a novelist counterpart to the dramatist Anton Tchekov. All these qualities are seen in Smoke, the last of his six great novels, where he portrays decadent traditionalists and ineffective theorists, whose eternal talk always ends in 'smoke'. The philosophy and politics which are the background of the novel throw into relief the story of the non-political Litvinov and his overwhelming love for the beautiful and lovely Irina. The setting is Baden, where Turgenev spent several years observing Russian society of his day, for whom the place was a fashionable resort. inventory #48107. Seller Inventory # z48107
