About the Author: Ivan Turgenev
Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (Cyrillic: Иван Тургенев) was a novelist, poet and dramatist, and now ranks as one of the towering figures of Russian literature. His major works include the short-story collection A Sportsman’s Sketches (1852) and the novels Rudin (1856), Home of the Gentry (1859), On the Eve (1860), and Fathers and Sons (1862). These works offer realistic, affectionate portrayals of the Russian peasantry and penetrating studies of the Russian intelligentsia who were attempting to move the country into a new age. His masterpiece, Fathers and Sons, is considered one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century. Turgenev was a contemporary with Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy. While these wrote about church and religion, Turgenev was more concerned with the movement toward social reform.

With the exception of The Song of Triumphant Love, which is set in Renaissance Italy, these stories are all partly autobiographical. They demonstrate the evolution of Turgenev's skills and preoccupations, from the diary form of his famout study of Superfluous Man (1850) and his exposure of the tyranny of serfdom in the small masterpiece Mumu (1854), to his most poignant and nostalgic evocations of love, Asya (1858) and First Love (1860).
