"Passion in all its forms always excited Turgenev, but he was happiest portraying its earliest intimations fulfilment made him uneasy.He is best when eschewing all fancy stuff and describing exactly what happened, as he does in First Love" - John Bayley, The New York Times Book Review
It is a masterpiece that shows the curious literalism of Turgenev's talent. "(T)he tale that exploits most effectively Turgenev's gifts of pathos and humor, insight and self-awareness - the strengths of his own passivity, so to speak - is First Love.It is a gesture of artistic defiance to the urgencies of the age - which demanded of an artist as Russian as Turgenev to "lift the nation" - yet it remains an authentic attendance to those urgencies: the old order versus the new" - Hisham Matar, The Guardian "Ivan Turgenev's novella First Love is one of the most perfect things ever written.Also available in translations by Isaiah Berlin (1950) and Richard Freeborn (1999)Ī- : simple and very effective tale of young love.General information | review summaries | our review | links | about the author
