Turgenev was of that great race which has more than any other fully and freely uttered human nature, without either false pride or false shame in its nakedness. —On Turgenev William Dean
Ivan Turgenev 1818–83, Russian novelist, dramatist, and short-story writer, considered one of the foremost Russian writers.… His masterpiece, Fathers and Sons (1862), deals with nihilist philosophy and personal and social rebellion. The novel was severely criticized, and Turgenev resolved to remain outside Russia, where he could continue his lifelong love affair with the French singer Pauline Viardot-Garcia.… His works remain enormously popular in the USSR. Almost all of them are available in English.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia Biographical Note from Harvard Classics. ) Pronunciation: t from The American Heritage®
