Asja by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev
"Asja" by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a novella published in 1858. A middle-aged Russian narrator recalls a fateful summer in Germany where he encountered two mysterious Russians: the aspiring artist Gagin and his enigmatic younger companion, Asya. As their friendship deepens, the narrator grows captivated by the unpredictable seventeen-year-old girl whose moods shift from playful to melancholic. When he discovers the secret of her birth and she confesses her feelings, he must
decide whether to embrace love or let propriety dictate his response—a choice whose consequences will haunt him forever. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
