Life

Turgenev was born into a landed and wealthy family in Oryol, Russia, on October 28, 1818. History While there are no historical records archaeological evidence proves that a fortress settlement existed between the Oka and Orlik Rivers as early as the 12th century Events 306 - Maxentius is proclaimed Roman Emperor. 312 - Battle of Milvian Bridge: Constantine Year 1818 ( MDCCCXVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Common His father Sergei Nikolaevich Turgenev, a colonel in the Imperial Russian cavalry, was a chronic philanderer. Ivan's mother Varvara Petrovna Lutovinova was a wealthy heiress, who had an unhappy childhood and suffered in her marriage. Ivan's father died when Ivan was sixteen, leaving Turgenev and his brother Nicholas to be brought up by their abusive mother. After the standard schooling for a child of a gentleman's family, Turgenev studied for one year at the University of Moscow and then moved to the University of Saint Petersburg, focusing on Classics, Russian literature and philology.

Philosophy is the study of general problems concerning matters such as existence knowledge truth beauty justice validity mind and language History is the study of the past particularly the written record Those who study history as a Profession are called Historians Etymology Turgenev was impressed with German central-European society, and returned home believing that Russia could best improve itself by incorporating ideas from the Age of Enlightenment. The Age of Enlightenment or The Enlightenment is a term used to describe a phase in Western philosophy and cultural life centered upon the eighteenth century Like many of his educated contemporaries, he was particularly opposed to serfdom. The origins of Serfdom in Russia are traced to Kievan Rus in the 11th century

A family serf read to him verses from the Rossiad of Kheraskov, a celebrated poet of the 18th century. Mikhail Matveyevich Kheraskov (1733-1807 was regarded as the most important Russian poet by Catherine the Great and her contemporaries Turgenev's early attempts in literature, poems, and sketches had indications of genius and were favorably spoken of by Belinsky, then the leading Russian literary critic. During the latter part of his life, Turgenev did not reside much in Russia; he lived either at Baden-Baden or Paris, often in proximity to the family of the celebrated singer Pauline Garcia-Viardot, with whom he had a lifelong affair. Baden-Baden is a town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is located on the western foothills of the Black Forest, on the banks of the Oos River Paris (ˈpærɨs in English; in French) is the Capital of France and the country's largest city Pauline García-Viardot ( July 18, 1821 &ndash May 18, 1910) was a nineteenth century Spanish Mezzo-soprano and Composer

Turgenev never married, although he had a daughter with one of his family's serfs. Tall and broad, Turgenev's personality was timid, restrained and soft-spoken. His closest literary friend was Gustave Flaubert. Gustave Flaubert (gystaːv flobɛːʁ in French ( December 12, 1821 &ndash May 8, 1880) was a French writer who is counted among His relations with Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky were often strained, as the two were, for various reasons, dismayed by Turgenev's seeming preference for Western Europe.

Career

Turgenev first made his name with A Sportsman's Sketches (Записки охотника), also known as Sketches from a Hunter's Album or Notes of a Hunter. A Sportsman's Sketches (also known as The Hunting Sketches and Sketches from a Hunter's Album was an 1852 collection of short stories by Ivan Turgenev A Sportsman's Sketches (also known as The Hunting Sketches and Sketches from a Hunter's Album was an 1852 collection of short stories by Ivan Turgenev A Sportsman's Sketches (also known as The Hunting Sketches and Sketches from a Hunter's Album was an 1852 collection of short stories by Ivan Turgenev Based on the author's own observations of peasant life and nature while hunting in the forests around his mother's estate of Spasskoye, most of the stories were published in a single volume in 1852 and are credited with having influenced public opinion in favour of the abolition of serfdom in 1861. The Emancipation Reform of 1861 in Russia was the first and most important of liberal reforms affected during the reign of Alexander II of Russia. Turgenev himself considered the Sportman's Sketches to be his most important contribution to Russian literature,[1] and Tolstoy, amongst others, agreed wholeheartedly, saying that his evocations of nature in these stories were unsurpassed. A Sportsman's Sketches (also known as The Hunting Sketches and Sketches from a Hunter's Album was an 1852 collection of short stories by Ivan Turgenev Leo Tolstoy, or Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy ( –) (Лев Никола́евич Толсто́й, was a Russian Writer widely regarded [2]

In the 1840s and early 50s during the rule of Tsar Nicholas I, the political climate in Russia was stifling for many writers. This is evident in the despair and subsequent death of Gogol, the notorious oppression, and the persecution and arrests of artists, scientists, and writers, including Dostoevsky. Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (Никола́й Васи́льевич Го́голь Nikolai Vasilevich Gogol;; Микола Васильович Гоголь Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (Фёдор Миха́йлович Достое́вский, sometimes transliterated Dostoyevsky, Dostoievsky, During this time, thousands of Russian intellectuals (members of the intelligentsia) emigrated to Europe. Russian intelligent, in Russian Русский интеллигент (where "g" is pronounced as in the word "golf" and the accent comes on the last syllable) is Among them were Alexander Herzen and Turgenev himself, although the latter's decision to settle abroad had more to do with his fateful love for Pauline Viardot than anything else. Aleksandr Ivanovich Herzen ( Алекса́ндр Ива́нович Ге́рцен) ( —) was a major Russian pro-Western writer and thinker known as the "father Pauline García-Viardot ( July 18, 1821 &ndash May 18, 1910) was a nineteenth century Spanish Mezzo-soprano and Composer

In 1852, when his first major novels of Russian society were still to come, Turgenev wrote his (now notorious) obituary to his idol Nikolai Gogol in the Saint Petersburg Gazette. Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (Никола́й Васи́льевич Го́голь Nikolai Vasilevich Gogol;; Микола Васильович Гоголь The key passage reads, "Gogol is dead!. Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (Никола́й Васи́льевич Го́голь Nikolai Vasilevich Gogol;; Микола Васильович Гоголь . . What Russian heart is not shaken by those three words?. . . He is gone, that man whom we now have the right, the bitter right given to us by death, to call great. " The censor of Saint Petersburg did not approve of this idolatry and banned its publication, but Turgenev managed to fool the Moscow censor into printing it. Saint Petersburg ( tr: Sankt-Peterburg,) is a city and a federal subject of Russia located on the Neva River Moscow (Москва́ romanised: Moskvá, IPA: see also other names) is the Capital and the largest city of These underhand tactics landed the young writer in prison for a month, and he was forced into exile to his estate for nearly two years.

Whilst still in Russia, in the early 1850s, Turgenev wrote several short novels (povesti in Russian): The Diary of a Superfluous Man (Дневник лишнего человека), Faust (Фауст), The Lull (Затишье). In them Turgenev expressed the anxieties and hopes of Russians of his generation. In 1854 he moved to Western Europe and during the next year produced his first post-Russian important work: the novel Rudin (Рудин), the story of a man in his thirties, unable to put his talents and idealism to any use in the Russia of Nicholas I. Rudin (Рудин in Russian rudin is the first Novel by Ivan Turgenev, a famous Russian writer best known for his short stories and the novel Rudin is also full of nostalgia for the idealistic student circles of the 1840s.

In 1855 Alexander II had ascended the Russian throne, and the political climate in Russia became more relaxed. Alexander (Aleksandr II Nikolaevich (Александр II Николаевич ( Moscow, 29 April 1818 – 13 March 1881 in St Inspired by the positive social changes, in 1859 Turgenev wrote the novel On the Eve (Накануне), in which he portrayed the Bulgarian revolutionary Insarov. On the Eve (Накану́не is the third Novel by famous Russian writer Ivan Turgenev, best known for his short stories and the novel Fathers The following year saw the publication of one of his finest short stories, First Love (Первая любовь), which was based on bitter-sweet childhood memories.

In 1862 Fathers and Sons (Отцы и дети), Turgenev's most famous and enduring novel, appeared. Fathers and Sons is a 1862 Novel by Ivan Turgenev, his best known work Its leading character, Bazarov, was in turns heralded and reviled as either a glorification or a parody of the new men of the 1860s. However, the issues treated in the novel transcend the merely political or contemporary.

Many radical critics at the time (with the notable exception of Dimitri Pisarev) did not take Fathers and Sons seriously and after the relative critical failure of his masterpiece, Turgenev was disillusioned and started to write less. Dimitri Ivanovich Pisarev (Дмитрий Иванович Писарев -) was a radical Russian writer and social critic who according to Georgi Plekhanov, Fathers and Sons is a 1862 Novel by Ivan Turgenev, his best known work His next novel, Smoke (Дым), was published in 1867 and was again received less than enthusiastically in his native country, as well as triggering a famous quarrel with Dostoevsky in Baden-Baden. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (Фёдор Миха́йлович Достое́вский, sometimes transliterated Dostoyevsky, Dostoievsky, His last substantial work attempting to do justice to the problems of contemporary Russian society, Virgin Soil (Новь), was published in 1877. Stories of a more personal nature, such as Torrents of Spring (Вешние воды), King Lear of the Steppes (Степной король Лир), and The Song of Triumphant Love (Песнь торжествующей любви) were also written in these autumnal years of his life. Torrents of Spring, also known as Spring Torrents ( Russian: Вешние воды is a Novel written by Ivan Turgenev Other last works included the Poems in Prose and Clara Milich (After Death ), which appeared in the journal European Messenger.

Some literary historians have compared Turgenev to Victorian novelists such as Thackeray, Hawthorne, and Henry James, but his style and concerns were in fact very different from these American and British writers. Culture The Victorian fascination with novelty resulted in a deep interest in the relationship between modernity and cultural continuities William Makepeace Thackeray (ˈθækərɪ 18 July 1811 – 24 December 1863 was an English Novelist of the 19th century Nathaniel Hawthorne (born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4 1804 – May 19 1864 was an American novelist and Short story writer Henry James, OM ( –) son of theologian Henry James Sr, brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James More frequent and fruitful are contrasts between Turgenev and his two great Russian contemporaries, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, who wrote on similar themes, but often from a religious or moral perspective which Turgenev did not approve of in artistic creation.
