Terres vierges" de Ivan Tourgueniev. ecrivain et dramaturge russe (1818-1883).

Terres vierges

J'ETAIS l'unique souci de maman, et nos deux existences faisaient corps, pour ainsi dire. Ces relations entre parents et enfants ne sont pas toujours recommandables... il arrive meme qu'elles soient nefastes. Ajoutez a cela que j'etais fils unique... et la plupart des enfants qui se trouvent dans mon cas ne recoivent pas une education normale. En les elevant, les parents songent trop a eux-memes... Cela n'est pas bon. Je n'etais ni gate, ni aigri (deux defauts qui guettent tous les enfants uniques), mais mon systeme nerveux avait ete ebranle prematurement. D'ailleurs, en general, ma sante laissait fort a desirer: j'avais herite cela de ma mere, a qui je ressemblais beaucoup, a tous les points de vue."

Le Journal D'un Homme De Trop

Twenty-five beautifully written stories, penned in exile, evocatively depicting life on a manor in feudal Russia and examining the conflicts between serfs and landlordsA Sportsman's Notebook, Ivan Turgenev's first literary masterpiece, is a sweeping portrayal of the magnificent nineteenth-century Russian countryside and the harsh lives of those who inhabited it. In a powerful and gripping series of sketches, a hunter wanders through the vast landscape of steppe and forest in search of game, encountering a varied cast of peasants, landlords, bailiffs, overseers, horse traders, and merchants. He witnesses both feudal tyranny and the submission of the tyrannized, against a backdrop of the sublime and pitiless terrain of rural Russia. These exquisitely rendered stories, now with a stirring introduction from Daniyal Mueenuddin, were not only universally popular with the reading public but, through the influence they exerted on important members of the Tsarist bureaucracy, contributed to the major political event of mid-nineteenth-century Russia: the Great Emancipation of the serfs in 1861. Rarely has a book that offers such undiluted literary pleasure also been so strong a force for significant social change, one that continues to speak to readers centuries later.

A Sportsman's Notebook - Stories

As Arkady Kirsanov returns home after graduation, his father waits patiently for him-excited to see his much-loved son once again. But in returning home to a world that has remained static, Arkady and his friend Bazarov, a self-defined nihilist, find themselves wholly changed, and must now redefine old relationships-both their friendship with one another and their relationships with their fathers-from new perspectives. Ivan Turgenev's brilliant novel explores generational differences and their tragic consequences. The classic saga Fathers and Sons reveals the inescapable influence that fathers and sons have on each other's lives, and provides a realistic portrayal of the struggles of families and their ideologies in the face of social upheaval. Fathers and Sons is often regarded as the first modern novel in Russian literature, and has been adapted for the stage as Nothing Sacred, which was later made into a movie.

Fathers and Sons

Tourgueniev s'est servi de ses propres experiences de chasse pour ecrire ce recueil, s'inscrivant dans la tradition realiste. Mais la chasse ne sert que de pretexte pour introduire des critiques virulentes sur le servage, la condition des serfs russes et les injustices des proprietaires. Tourgueniev en paiera le prix en 1852 lors de son enfermement d'un mois a la prison de l'Amiraute et de son assignation a residence sous surveillance policiere dans sa propriete pendant dix-huit mois."

Mémoires d'un chasseur

En janvier 1870, Tourguéniev est invité par Maxime Du Camp à assister à l'exécution publique d'un jeune criminel devenu célèbre pour avoir commis huit meurtres sordides, Jean-Baptiste Troppmann. Poussé par une curiosité qui lui est malaisé d'expliquer, Tourguéniev accepte l'invitation et suit Troppmann de sa toilette funèbre jusqu à la guillotine. Description glaciale d'une mise à mort à laquelle assiste une foule de badauds avinés et braillards. "L'Exécution de Troppmann", écrit sans parti-pris, est le constat d'échec de la peine de mort, sans vertu dissuasive et absurdement immorale. Ce volume comprend: "L'Exécution de Troppmann", "Un incendie en mer" et "Une fin".
