Torrents of Spring, First Love, and Mumu - Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev - Bog

This Ivan Turgenev collection unites three of his finest stories into a single, compelling, and affordable edition.

A lauded member of the Russia's literary avant-garde during the mid-19th century, Turgenev's novels and short stories have been celebrated for their poignant, emotionally striking themes and the deft use of plot twists.

In Torrents of Spring, we follow Dmitry Sanin, a young landowner who embarks on travel from his homestead in Russia to the German city of Frankfurt. Having already toured Italy and other places in Europe, Dmitry is en route home, and treats Frankfurt as a last stop.

First Love - revered as one of Turgenev's best tales - begins at a party in which three middle-aged men are each telling the tale of their first love.

Mumu concerns Gerasim, a deaf and mute serf who has moved to Moscow after a life spent working the country fields.
