《Fathers and Sons》

Book Description The Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles. The novel concentrates on the conflict between generations, with the nihilist Bazarov representing the revolt of the young free-thinking intellectuals, embodying the spirit of revolution. Paul Petrovitch speaks for the older generation which accepts the need for gradual reform, up to a point. From Library Journal Dover's wonderful "Thrift" line now offers Turgenev's 1862 chestnut on the cheap. From AudioFile Turgenev's masterpiece about the generation gap gives us endless philosophizing in the Russian style and endearing, unforgettable characters. British actor David Horovitch wonderfully impersonates the dramatis personae, communicating their full dimension. As in the novel, Bazarov, the arrogant, young nihilist with a heart of gold, steals the show. Anyone intrigued but daunted by those weighty Russian novels should start with this tape. Y.R.
