Fathers and Sons is a novel by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev, first published in 1862. It is widely considered one of the most significant works of Russian literature. The story follows Yevgeny Bazarov, a young, brilliant medical student. Bazarov's beliefs are put to the test during his visit to the country estate of his friend Arkady Kirsanov and his family. Arkady's father, Nikolai, and his uncle, Pavel, are representatives of the older generation who hold more traditional values. The novel explores the tensions between these two generations, as well as Bazarov's interactions with his feelings of love and his evolving relationships with those around him. Charles James Hogarth, an English translator, is known for his translation of Turgenev's Fathers and Sons into English. Hogarth's translation, first published in 1867, was one of the earliest efforts to bring this important Russian work to the English-speaking world. His translation retains the essence of Turgenev's prose, capturing both its intellectual depth and emotional resonance. Fathers and Sons remains a timeless reflection on the struggles between tradition and progress.
