One of the pillars of nineteenth-century Russian prose fiction
alongside towering figures such as Gogol, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy,
Ivan Turgenev started his writing career as a poet, gaining much
critical acclaim and renown in that field. The title piece of this
collection, Parasha, which brought the young author to the
attention of the influential critic Vissarion Belinsky and
established his reputation, is a humorous narrative poem in the
vein of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin or Lermontov's Sashka, telling the
story of a young woman's marriage to her dull, unromantic neighbour
and the couple's humdrum and more or less happy life ever after.
Also contained in this volume are four other narrative poems by
Turgenev - Andrei, A Conversation, The Landowner and The Village
Priest - all showing the author's early interest in ordinary
stories of Russian life and all displaying the wit and stylistic
versatility that we have come to associate with his more famous
prose works.
