The heroes of the novels - progressive-minded noblemen and intellectuals - live in a complex atmosphere of tense ideological seekings which prevailed in Russia in the 1850s-1860s. The system of serfdom had reached a crisis, and the quest for new ways of social development, for a true hero of the times, and last but not least for an opportunity to personally further the common cause of the nation, engaged the minds. Taking his heroes from real life, Turgenev charged them with an extraordinary explosive force, involving his contemporaries in heated debate and collision of ideas.
