| Publisher Description: On the Eve is the third novel by famous Russian writer Ivan Turgenev, best known for his short stories and the novel Fathers and Sons. Turgenev embellishes this love story with observations on middle class life and interposes some art and philosophy. In his essay "When Will the Real Day Come?", Nikolay Dobrolyubov analyzed On the Eve through a political lens that Turgenev disagreed with, offending the author. The story revolves around Elena, a girl with a hypochondriac mother and an idle father, a retired guards lieutenant with a mistress. |
