A fervent nihilist, Yevgeny Bazarov passionately rejects traditional values and authority and wants to overturn the oppressive landowning system that supports Russian society (and his own parents). As Bazarov provokes the disapproval of his elders, falls unsuccessfully in love, and fights a duel, he moves like a storm cloud through this sensuous, dramatically paced account of Russia on the brink of change. Ivan Turgenev's greatest fictional character is as compelling and as enigmatic as the country whose turmoil he so vividly represents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntroduction by John Bayley; Translation by Avril Pyman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivan Turgenev\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0679405364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679405368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Everyman's Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.31h x 5.27w x 0.97d","brand":"Ivan Turgenev","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992272929023,"sku":"9780679405368","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4479989d-43a3-4206-ae42-d3a97646c3e5.jpg?v=1683315085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fathers-and-children-ivan-sergeevich-turgenev-9780679405368","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
