Publisher's Synopsis
Turgenev (1818-83) was a Russian novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright and popularizer of Russian literature in the West. His first major publication, a short story collection entitled A Sportsman's Sketches (1852) was a milestone in Russian realism, and his novel Fathers and Sons (1862) is regarded as one of the major works of 19th-century fiction. This English language edition of 1904 contains First Love (1860), one of his finest novellas, and four short stories: A Correspondence, The Region of Dead Calm, It Is Enough, and The Dog.
