Rudin by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev
"Rudin" by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a novel first published in 1856. It explores the archetype of the "superfluous man"—an eloquent, intellectual nobleman whose brilliant words cannot translate into action. When Rudin arrives at a provincial estate, his charisma captivates the inhabitants, particularly seventeen-year-old Natasha, who falls in love with him. But as their relationship develops, the gap between Rudin's inspiring rhetoric and his inability to act becomes painfully clear, revealing the
deeper tragedy of a generation rich in ideas but poor in deeds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
