«A Month in the Country» is the five-act comedy by Ivan Turgenev, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (128 pages, in English).
In rural nineteenth-century Russia, Natalya Petrovna, a wealthy married woman, falls in love with her son's young tutor, a naive university student. That love unleashes a triangle that Turgenev turns into a tragicomedy of psychological penetration, anticipating Chekhov's theater.
Written in 1850 and translated into English by Isaiah Berlin, who also provides the introduction. The original title is «Месяц в деревне».
For readers of classical theater and nineteenth-century Russian literature, interested in the precedents of modern drama.
(1752—1807) — Russian writer, director of the Imperial Moscow University.
