About this title

From the Back Cover

Composed thirty years after the events it describes, SPRING TORRENTS is an exquisitely written, partly autobiographical treatment of one of Turgenev's favourite themes-man's inability to learn about love without losing his innocence. This translation by Professor Schapiro is accompanied by detailed notes and a critical essay on the story's place significance in its author's life and work.
