Produktbeschreibung

Ivan Turgenev published a novella in 1872 titled Torrents of Spring, often known as Spring Torrents. It features young Russian landowner Dimitry Sanin, who falls madly in love for the first time while visiting Frankfurt, Germany, and is mostly autobiographical in character. The book, which Turgenev wrote between 1870 and 1871 while he was in his forties, is regarded as one of his best. At the beginning of the novel, a middle-aged Dmitry Sanin is looking through some files in his study when he discovers a small cross that is set with garnets. This discovery transports him back in time to 1840 by thirty years. The piece, which is presented as a memory, centers on the thoughts of middle-aged and weary Sanin on his earlier love affair with young Italian woman Gemma. Sanin suddenly fell under the spell of an older Russian woman and was enthralled by her, despite the fact that she voluntarily ended her engagement with another man and announced her love for him. He shamefully ended their relationship with Gemma in order to pursue the cunning Madame Polozov, but now that he is older and wiser, he is wondering what he missed.

He is regarded as one of the greatest figures in Russian literature and is particularly known for his nuanced characterizations, lyrical prose, and exploration of social and political issues. Turgenev's literary career began with poetry and short stories, but he gained widespread recognition with his collection of short stories, "A Sportsman's Sketches" (also known as "Sketches from a Hunter's Album"), published in 1852. This work, which depicted the harsh realities of serfdom and the lives of Russian peasants, is credited with influencing public opinion and contributing to the abolition of serfdom in 1861. Notable Works. "A Month in the Country" (¿¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿) (1855): This play is a psychological exploration of unrequited love and the complexities of human emotions.
