First Love

This collection includes two beautifully written novellas: the captivating, deeply psychological "First Love", and the charming, lyrical "Asya" – as well as "Rudin", a novel about the tragedy of a Russian intellectual dreaming of great achievements and great love, but doomed to repeatedly experience failures due to his indecisiveness and lack of self-confidence. The depth of the characters, the engaging plots, and Turgenev's amazing talent make acquaintance with his prose unforgettable.
