First Love

Love is one of the main themes in the works of Ivan Turgenev. It gives strength, elevates, reveals the best sides of a person... And it can become a true tragedy, a fateful trial, incinerating the soul completely. In the collection "First Love" you will find stories about love in all its shades and diversity. The characters suffer from unrequited feelings, from indecision or fear of being judged. They create and destroy ideals themselves. Romance is shattered against the rocks of everyday life, and its fragments can remain in the soul and irritate wounds for many years. "If we were birds – how we would soar, how we would fly... We would drown in this blueness... But we are not birds." The author's stunning prose immerses the reader in an amazing world of feelings and emotions. Everyone who has ever truly loved has experienced them at least once. The book includes the novellas "Asya," "First Love," "The Unfortunate," "Spring Waters," and "The Song of Triumphant Love."
