'Een maand buiten is in zekere zin een verbeterde bewerking van een stuk van Balzac: De stiefmoeder. Dat stuk is allang vergeten, maar Een maand buiten wordt nog steeds gespeeld. Zo zou je kunnen zeggen dat Rook en Nieuwe gronden voorbeelden zijn van de 'sociale roman', die toen in heel Europa in de mode was: men nam een of ander maatschappelijk probleem (de gevaren van de alcohol, het lot van de Javaan, het 'vrouwenvraagstuk', 'Rusland en Europa', de Russische revolutionaire beweging) en men schreef daar dan een boek omheen. De meeste van die boeken zijn nu vergeten, maar Rook en Nieuwe gronden worden nog steeds herdrukt en door steeds nieuwe generaties gelezen.' (Karel van het Reve)

Ivan Turgenev, 1818 - 1883 Novelist, poet and playwright, Ivan Turgenev, was born to a wealthy family in Oryol in the Ukraine region of Russia. He attended St. Petersburg University (1834-37) and Berlin University (1838-41), completing his master's exam at St. Petersburg. His career at the Russian Civil Service began in 1841. He worded for the show more Ministry of Interior from 1843-1845. In the 1840's, Turgenev began writing poetry, criticism, and short stories under Nikolay Gogol's influence. "A Sportsman's Sketches" (1852) were short pieces written from the point of view of a nobleman who learns to appreciate the wisdom of the peasants who live on his family's estate. This brought him a month of detention and eighteen months of house arrest. From 1853-62, he wrote stories and novellas, which include the titles "Rudin" (1856), "Dvorianskoe Gnedo" (1859), "Nakanune" (1860) and "Ottsy I Deti" (1862). Turgenev left Russia, in 1856, because of the hostile reaction to his work titled "Fathers and Sons" (1862). Turgenev finally settled in Paris. He became a corresponding member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in 1860 and Doctor of Civil Law at Oxford University in 1879. His last published work, "Poems in Prose," was a collection of meditations and anecdotes. On September 3, 1883, Turgenev died in Bougival, near Paris. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
