Arguably the finest novel by Ivan Turgenev, Fathers and Children
tells a compelling story of generational conflict. Published in the
1860s, this novel alludes to the changing social climate of 19th
century Russia - old-style liberals, widely represented in the
elder generation would clash with the bold nihilists, many of whom
were young. Characters from the former group are represented with
marked humbleness and nostalgia, while those of the latter group
are inclined to pointed declarations espousing the avant-garde
philosophy of the time. Old institutions such as the Russian
Orthodox church are openly challenged by characters in the text,
while the young nihilists Bazarov and Arkady grapple with their
affections for Madame Odintsova, an elegant, cultured and
financially independent woman.
