Turgenev is an author who no longer belongs to Russia only. During
the last fifteen years of his life he won for himself the reading
public. As regards his method of dealing with his material and
shaping it he surpasses all the prose writers of his country, and
has but few equals among the great novelists of other lands. To one
familiar with all Turgenev's works it is evident that he possessed
the keys of all human emotions, all human feelings, the highest and
the lowest, the novel as well as the base. He make himself almost
exclusively the poet of the gentler side of human nature. We may
say that the description of love is Turgenev's specialty. Rudin is
the first of Turgenev's social novels, and is a sort of artistic
introduction to those that follow, because it refers to the epoch
anterior to that when the present social and political movements
began. This epoch is being fast forgotten, and without his novel it
would be difficult for us to fully realise it, but it is well worth
studying, because we find in it the germ of future growths.
Introduced in English, the text is in Russian and the notes are in
English
