Fathers and Sons by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev

"Fathers and Sons" by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a novel published in 1862. When university graduate Arkady returns home with his friend Bazarov, a self-proclaimed nihilist, generational tensions erupt. Bazarov's radical philosophy clashes with the older generation's values, while both young men find their beliefs tested by unexpected romance. As ideological conflicts intensify and personal relationships grow complicated, the story explores the widening gap between traditional Russian society and a new generation determined to reject everything their fathers held sacred.
