The title piece of this collection, Parasha, which brought the young author to the attention of the influential critic Vissarion Belinsky and established his reputation, is a humorous narrative poem in the vein of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin or Lermontov's Sashka, telling the story of a young woman's marriage to her dull, unromantic neighbour and the couple's humdrum and more or less happy life ever after. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Also contained in this volume are four other narrative poems by Turgenev - Andrei, A Conversation, The Landowner and The Village Priest - all showing the author's early interest in ordinary stories of Russian life and all displaying the wit and stylistic versatility that we have come to associate with his more famous prose works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivan Turgenev\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847498914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847498915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alma Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.72h x 4.96w x 0.94d","brand":"Ivan Turgenev","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073324708095,"sku":"9781847498915","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d5ed226-88e9-4c1b-bc18-ddf65118e608.jpg?v=1685447165","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parasha-and-other-poems-ivan-sergeevich-turgenev-9781847498915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
