Coming back to the "nest" of his family home in Russia after years
of fruitless endeavours away from his roots, Lavretsky decides to
turn his back on the vacuous salons of Paris and his frivolous and
unfaithful wife Varvara Pavlovna. On his return he meets Liza, the
daughter of one of his cousins, whom he had known when they were
children and who rekindles in him long-smothered feelings of love.
News of Varvara's death arrive from France, offering Lavretsky the
prospect of a new life, but a cruel twist threatens to shatter his
dreams and forces him to re-evaluate his plans. Hailed as a
masterpiece of Russian literature, A Nest of the Gentry -
Turgenev's most successful and widely read novel, here presented in
a new translation by Michael Pursglove - deals with the personal
struggles of the individual in a period of turbulent social change.
