'Vele van de hier bijeengebrachte verhalen van de Russische schrijver Iwan Toergenjew behoren tot het beste wat in de negentiende eeuw waar ook ter wereld is geschreven. Novellen als Eerste liefde, Lentebeken, Een koning Lear uit de steppe zijn onvergankelijke meesterstukjes - en dat niet alleen door hun boeiende inhoud, maar zeker ook door Toergenjews hechte compositie, levendige verhaaltechniek en zijn subtiele muzikale stijl, waarvan de heldere eenvoud, de lyrische charme en tegelijk beheerste gevoeligheid in deze Nederlandse vertaling volledig behouden zijn gebleven. Toergenjew is een negentiende-eeuwer die voor alle tijden schreef.' (Charles B. Timmer)

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
