Classic Russian novel. According to the introduction: ‘TURGENEV was the first writer who was able, having both Slavic and universal imagination enough for it, to interpret modern Russia to the outer world, and Virgin Soil was the last word of his greater testament. It was the book in which many English
readers were destined to make his acquaintance about a generation ago, and the effect of it was, like Swinburne’s Songs Before
Sunrise, Mazzini’s Duties of Man, and other congenial documents, to break up the insular confines in which they had been reared and to enlarge their new horizon.’ According to Wikipedia: ‘Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev 1818 – 1883) was a Russian novelist and playwright. His novel Fathers and Sons is regarded as one of the major works of 19th-century fiction.’
