About the author
Born in Oryol in 1818, he became one of the great Russian novelists, short-story writers, and playwrights of the 19th century. His early fame grew from A Sportsman's Sketches (1852), a collection admired for its vivid picture of rural life and its humane attention to ordinary people.
He went on to write major novels including Rudin, Home of the Gentry, On the Eve, and Fathers and Sons (1862). That last book, with its memorable young nihilist Bazarov, made him one of the key voices in debates about modern Russia, tradition, and the future.
He spent much of his later life in Western Europe and was among the first Russian writers to become widely celebrated abroad. He died in Bougival, near Paris, in 1883, but his clear, elegant style and deep sympathy for human weakness have kept his work alive for generations of readers.
