«Home of the Gentry» is the classic novel by Ivan Turgenev, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (208 pages, in English).
The novel follows Fyodor Lavretsky, a Russian nobleman who, broken and disillusioned after a failed marriage, returns from Paris to his family estate. In rural nineteenth-century Russia, he grows close to the young Liza, with whom he senses the possibility of a new beginning, though his past and the weight of social conventions darken that bond.
English translation by Richard Freeborn; originally published in Russian in 1859 under the title «Дворянское гнездо».
For readers of Russian classics and nineteenth-century stories about loss, redemption, and social conventions.
(1752—1807) — Russian writer, director of the Imperial Moscow University.
