Fathers and Sons. The Noble Nest. Notes of a Hunter

Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev — one of the world-renowned Russian classics. A true master of words, a subtle stylist, in his work he reflected on the sharp social issues of his time; at the same time, in his works not only was the image of the Russian man of the 19th century captured but also formed. «He created images of men and women who became models. He set the trend,» — believed the famous journalist and publisher A. S. Suvorin; while L. N. Tolstoy spoke about Turgenev's girls: «Perhaps there were not any like he described, but when he wrote them, they appeared.» Turgenev himself said about himself: «…I endeavored, as far as my strength and ability allowed, to portray and embody in proper types what Shakespeare calls: „the body and pressure of time“ (the very image and pressure of time).» This edition includes works such as «Fathers and Sons», «Rudin», «The Noble Nest», «Notes of a Hunter», «Mumu». They are published with illustrations by outstanding masters of book graphics — P. Sokolov, E. Bёm, D. Kardovsky, K. Rudakov.
