A nest of gentlefolk and other stories

Turgenev, Ivan Sergeevich, 1818-18832020
Books
This selection of Turgenev's most accomplished stories includes, 'A Nest of Gentlefolk', 'A Quiet Backwater', 'First Love' and 'A Lear of the Steppes'. In these stories we see every day life in 19th century Russia in Turgenev's signature nuanced and descriptive prose. We are faced with arbitrary but inevitable happenings; first loves, family feuds and characters who appear as absolute as if they were real.
