Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is one of the world-famous Russian classics. A true master of words, a subtle stylist, in his work he reflected on the pressing social issues of his time; At the same time, in his works the image of the Russian man of the 19th century was not only captured, but also formed. “He created images of men and women who became models. He gave fashion,” believed the famous journalist and publisher A. S. Suvorin; and L. N. Tolstoy spoke about Turgenev’s girls: “Perhaps there weren’t those like him who wrote, but when he wrote them, they appeared.” Turgenev himself spoke about himself: “... I tried, as far as I had the strength and skill, to conscientiously and impartially portray and embody in the proper types what Shakespeare calls: “the body and pressure of time” (the very image and pressure of time).” This edition includes such works as “Fathers and Sons”, “Rudin”, “The Noble Nest”, “Notes of a Hunter”, “Mumu”.
