Fathers And Sons

Fathers and Sons

by Ivan Turgenev

**Fathers and Sons** is a seminal Russian novel by Ivan Turgenev, first published in 1862. The novel explores the growing divide between the liberal and conservative generations of Russians. It follows the story of Yevgeny Bazarov, a young nihilist who rejects the traditional values of his parents and the older generation. Bazarov's nihilism is challenged by his friendship with Arkady Kirsanov, a young liberal, and his love for Madame Odintsova, a wealthy widow. The novel offers a complex and nuanced portrait of Russian society in the mid-19th century, and its themes of generational conflict, social change, and the search for meaning continue to resonate with readers today.
