2 Quotes About Ivan Turgenev

The last and perhaps the greatest of all Russian writers, Ivan Turgenev is also one of the greatest of all Russian writers. He achieved fame at a time when Russia was still in its formative period and the society in which he lived was still in flux. And yet his style and thought were so rich that even in his own day they could be felt to be the work of a profound and complete man. It was this greatness we tried to preserve when we edited Turgenev's works.
