Faust en andere verhalen by Ivan Turgenev

But when she challenges him to live up to his words, he fails her. The first of Turgenev’s novels, Rudin, tells of an eloquent intellectual, Dmitry Rudin, a character modeled partly on Bakunin, whose power of oratory and passionately held belief in the need for progress so affect the younger members of a provincial salon that the heroine, Natalya, falls in love with him.

The two novels that he published during the 1850s- Rudin (1856) and Home of the Gentry (1859)-are permeated by a spirit of ironic nostalgia for the weaknesses and futilities so manifest in this generation of a decade earlier. With the defeat of Russia in the Crimean War (1854–56), Turgenev’s own generation, “the men of the forties,” began to belong to the past. Time and national events, moreover, were impinging upon him. Petersburg, his work was evolving toward such extended character studies as Yakov Pasynkov (1855) and the subtle if pessimistic examinations of the contrariness of love found in “Faust” and “A Correspondence” (1856).
