On the eve of the Crimean War, the young, headstrong Yelena, the
daughter of aristocratic Russian parents, falls in love with a
revolutionary from Bulgaria named Insarov. Facing the wrath and
disapproval of her family, Yelena abandons her home to follow
Insarov to Bulgaria. Their fateful match sets in motion a series of
tragic events which challenge notions of love, revolution and
idealism. A highly controversial work upon its original
publication, Ivan Turgenev's On the Eve is now recognized as one of
the masterpieces of Russian literature and an essential document of
the upheaval that dominated Russian society in the years prior to
the Crimean War. Turgenev's restrained, nuanced prose is rendered
beautifully in Michael Pursglove's new translation.
