Description
"So ... you were convinced of all this and decided not to do anything serious yourselves.""And decided not to do anything serious," Bazarov repeated grimly. ... "But to confine yourselves to abuse?""To confine ourselves to abuse.""And that is called nihilism?""And that is called nihilism," Bazarov repeated again, this time with marked insolence. The book examines the conflict of attitudes in mid-19th-century Russia, as distant pre-echoes of the Revolution continue to rumble through the remote rural landscape.
The story follows the Kirsanov family, representatives of the old regime, and the violent character of the anti-hero Bazarov. Introduced by Michael R Katz who was born in New York City and educated at Horace Mann School, Williams College, and Oxford University.
He is the author of two books and over fifteen translations of Russian novels into English, including works by Dostoevsky, Turgenev, and Tolstoy.
