Publisher's Synopsis
Fathers and Sons is a novel written by Ivan Turgenev in 1867. The story is set in Russia during the mid-19th century and revolves around the relationship between fathers and their sons. The main characters are Arkady, a young man who has just graduated from university, and his father Nikolai, a landowner who represents the older generation. Arkady brings his friend Bazarov, a nihilist and a medical student, to his father's estate.

The novel explores the clash between the traditional and modern values of Russian society and the generational divide that exists between fathers and sons.
