About this audiobook
Ivan Turgenev
Ivan Turgenev was a Russian writer whose work is exemplary of Russian Realism. A student of Hegel, Turgenev’s political views and writing were heavily influenced by the Age of Enlightenment. Among his most recognized works are the classic Fathers and Sons, A Sportsman’s Sketches, and A Month in the Country. Turgenev is today recognized for his artistic purity, which influenced writers such as Henry James and Joseph Conrad. Turgenev died in 1883, and is credited with returning Leo Tolstoy to writing as the result of his death-bed plea.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Becomes genuinely emotional and importantly love/life-affirming. recordedbooks.com brought us an Excellent reader whose name I can’t access easily now, but perhaps someone can add it here.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I knew Fathers and Sons was a classic of Russian literature but it's even better than I expected. Idiosyncratic. Humorous. Poignant. With philosophical depth and lots of surprises. The reader, George Guidall, is superb. He does full, dramatic justice to Turgenev's wonderful dialogue.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is amazing! Beautifully written, powerful characters, and deeply insightful. A masterful work of literature
