Turgenev’s first novel (1857) established some of the author’s favorite themes, including the fate of the intellectual but ineffective “superfluous man, ” and the self-conscious woman now known to literature as “the Turgenev maid.” This intense love story reflects Russian society in the wake of the Crimean War, as well as the author’s life. English translation by Constance Garnett.
