Young Russian landowner Dimitry Sanin falls deliriously in love in Frankfurt with Gemma Roselli of the confectioner's and is engaged within days. In Wiesbaden, Maria Nikolaevna Polozova buys his estate and takes the man; first love wrecks itself under a stronger will. Turgenev's novel of spring passion and the betrayal that follows, partly drawn from his own life.

Author

Ivan Turgenev (1818–1883) grew up on a wealthy Russian estate, studied at the universities of Moscow, St Petersburg, and Berlin, and later settled largely in France. A Sportsman's Sketches revealed the intelligence and dignity of serfs through apparently effortless country scenes; Fathers and Sons caught the rift between liberal parents and their impatient, nihilist heirs.
