Well written and interesting to read but it is hard to get the full picture, being so divorced from the historical and cultural context. I enjoyed reading this however.

The beliefs of the younger generation are incomprehensible to the older, especially when the younger generation believes in nothing at all.

Waw, de portretschets van vaders en zonen en moeders en generatiekloven, hoe mooi... En enkele woorden ook die ik ben moeten gaan opzoeken. Bijleren en genieten!

If I had to choose one fictional character from the entirety of history to fight with my bare hands, it would be Bazarov. And I would win.

Really well-written. Not as complex or dark as my Russian faves.

There was no benefit from reading this book other than being able to say I know who Turgenev is now. I was very confused because I had heard so many good things about Turgenev and the book. I was expecting the writing to be as gripping as Tolstoy and Dostoevsky or at least exciting like Lermentov. But instead, I kept waiting and waiting and ended up being extremely disappointed but at least happy to be finished with it.
