Fathers and Sons: Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev.

Abstract: (5 pp) This 1862 novel caused great upset upon its original publication in Russia, but it is still being read today because of the universal insights it gives into human relationships and the nature of change. We might ask ourselves if the major characters presented are realistic to us, but it is good to remember the age of the novel, and be aware that was realistic then -and it was certainly considered such at the time -may not seem that way today. This discussion will examine the strength of characters presented.
