Fathers and Sons - Turgenev's Theme in Russian Literary and Political Culture

This book traces an explosive and dynamic pattern--generational interaction and conflict--in the last two centuries of Russian history. Reform, revolutions, terrorism and dictatorship, and their cultural artifacts they produced (E.g. Pushkin's poems, Dostoevsky's novels, and Eisenstein's films) are explored through this timeless prism.
