From the most romantic of the Russian greats, an enthralling selection of short stories and novellas

An icon of Russian literature, Turgenev was able to contain the narrative sweep of a novel in a single short story. His protagonists experience the joy and painful turbulence of first love, the thrilling adventures of youth, and the layered reflections of maturityHis great skill is to make his readers feel alongside these characters, rendering their complex interiorities, whether nobility or serf, in these stories charged with a profound social conscience.

This collection, in a lyrical new translation by Nicolas Slater, places Turgenev''s great novella First Love alongside a selection of his classic storiesFrom the evocative rural scenes of ''Bezhin Meadow'' and ''Rattling Wheels'', to the pathos and humanity of ''The District Doctor'' and ''Biryuk'', these are stories to be lingered over.
