Hardback. Condition: New. This volume pairs two novels, one early, one late, by Ivan Turgenev, master chronicler of nineteenth-century Russia.Nest of the Gentry (1859) was his most popular work in his lifetime, and with good reason. An elegiac story of love and loss, it is both universal and particularly Russian. The hero Fyodor Lavretsky, son of a wealthy landowner and educated in the Western style, falls romantically in love with a woman he meets at the Moscow opera; they settle in Paris. When the marriage fails, he returns to Russia, a rootless cosmopolitan or 'superfluous man'. Back on his country estate, can he make a new start, reconcile himself to his responsibilities to the land and the people, and achieve an almost spiritual fulfilment in his love for his young cousin Liza?In Virgin Soil (1877), an older Turgenev boldly tackles the new radical politics of his era. The Tsarist regime is increasingly under challenge. Young people are flocking to the countryside to live side by side with the peasants, both to learn from them and to radicalise them. Poet Alexey Nezhdanov is an unlikely revolutionary, an over-thinking Hamlet figure, and a tragedy waiting to happen. While working as a tutor on a country estate, he is attracted to the self-assured and politically committed Marianna - an ardent idealist determined to sacrifice herself for the revolutionary cause. Turgenev, himself a liberal, deals sympathetically with his characters, respecting the seriousness of purpose of this new generation whose methods he could not endorse. Virgin Soil turned Turgenev into an international figure, and explicator of the perplexing Russian political scene (in its year of publication hundreds of young Populists were brought to trial, many receiving heavy sentences); in Russia it was roundly condemned on all sides. Turgenev was a supreme artist; in both these novels his profound humanity, his love for nature and for the Russian countryside, shine through the lyrical elegance of his prose.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A hardcover omnibus from the author of Fathers and Children and First Love--combining the doomed love story that was the most popular of Turgenevs novels during his lifetime with his final and most ambitious novel, a tragic satire of the naive idealism of youthTurgenev's popular 1859 novel has been translated into English under various titles, including House of the Gentlefolk, Home of the Gentry, and A Noblemans Nest. Fyodor Lavretsky is a nobleman whose mother was a serf who died when he was young, leaving him to be brought up on his father's country estate by a cruel aunt. Years later, living in Paris, Lavretsky discovers that his beautiful and flirtatious wife has been unfaithful. Broken and disillusioned, he returns to the family estate where he falls in love with a young cousin, Liza, whose simple and serious nature is a contrast to his wifes. A false report of his wifes death prompts him to declare his love to Liza, with tragic results for both of them.Virgin Soil, published in 1877, is both a love story and a bitterly funny social satire. It was inspired by the idealistic youth of 1870s Russia who rejected their lives of privilege to live among "the people, often hoping to improve the miserable lives of workers. Alexey Nezhdanov, illegitimate son of an aristocrat, is determined to radicalize the peasantry and inspire them to political action. He takes a job at a country estate as a tutor to a politician's child, though his ambitions to effect social change are complicated by his growing love for a niece of his employers family.While both these novels testify to Turgenevs reputation as the foremost Russian political novelist of the nineteenth century, they are equally remarkable for his ability to render his characters as compellingly vivid individuals struggling to reconcile their ideals with their emotions.Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free, cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.
