The novel explores themes of love, class, and cultural differences between Russia and Germany. It is a poignant and insightful work of literature that showcases Turgenev's skill as a writer.IT was the summer of 1840. Sanin was in his twenty-second year, and he was in Frankfort on his way home from Italy to Russia. He was a man of small property, but independent, almost without family ties. By the death of a distant relative, he had come into a few thousand roubles, and he had decided to spend this sum abroad before entering the service, before finally putting on the government yoke, without which he could not obtain a secure livelihood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
