Summary "Isät ja lapset: Romaani" by Iván Sergeevich Turgenev is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative explores the generational conflict between traditional values and emerging nihilistic ideologies represented by its main characters, Arkâdi Kirsânow and his friend Evgeny Bazârow. Turgenev delves into social and political themes that mirror the tumultuous atmosphere of Russia during this period. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Nikolai Petrôwitsh Kirsânow, a landowner eagerly awaiting the return of his son Arkâdi, who has just completed his studies. The atmosphere is nostalgic as Nikolai reflects on his family's past and the recent death of his wife, which has left him and Arkâdi's childhood home in a somber state. When Arkâdi arrives with his friend Bazârow, their contrasting personalities become apparent, particularly Bazârow's skeptical worldview, which challenges the values held by Nikolai and influences his son. This opening sets the stage for revealing the complex relationships and ideological rifts that define the characters' interactions and the broader societal shifts of the era.
