Fathers and Sons
by Ivan Turgenev
Buy on AmazonTurgenev said that he could not ‘sweeten his characters with syrup,’ that he had to tell the truth, even at the expense of his own sympathies. I loved this book as a teenager and have never forgotten how completely absorbed I was by Turgenev’s wonderfully evocative world.
