Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Novels and Stories of Iv�n Turg�nieff: Spring Freshets and Others Stories
Spring freshets was first published in the Eumpean Messenger. In commenting upon it one critic says that, in his later works, Turg�niefi' lingered, with special intensity of interest, over the weak-willed people (or, rather, men) who have no moral backbone. Such an one is the hero of the splendid novel, Spring Freshets, one of the most inspired and fairest creations of art. S�nin has fallen in love with a pure and radiant affection, with a pure maiden, Gemma; but the seduction of perturbing, sensual passion is all powerful over him; and while condemning and despising himself, he yields to that passion and slays the happiness and the love which would have been given to him in sincerity of soul.
