Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev

Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev

Arkady brings his friend Bazarov home from university for the summer. Bazarov is a medical student who believes in nothing that cannot be dissected — not art, not romance, not the deference his hosts expect — and he says so, at length, to Arkady's gentle father and imperious uncle.

Turgenev coined the term nihilist here and was attacked from both sides: radicals said Bazarov was a caricature, conservatives said he was a hero. What makes the novel last is that Bazarov's certainty does not survive falling in love, and the last chapters are among the most humane in Russian literature.

The great novel of the generation gap, and the best place to start with Turgenev.
