A Month in the Village Book Description Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenyev (1818-1883): He is among the 19th century Russian novelists whose works were first translated in Europe and in our country. Turgenev, who studied at the universities of Moscow, Petersburg and Paris, is remembered as the only Russian writer of his period with a European perspective. He conveyed the weak-willed Russian intellectuals, the life of the serfs, the loves of the landowning nobles, and the radical young generation to which he did not feel close, in his works in an impartial and realistic language. A Month in the Village is one of Turgenev's most well-known theater plays. The work, written under the name "Student" in France between 1848 and 1850, was banned by the censorship in Russia, and after the changes requested for moral rather than political reasons, it was published in 1855 under the name "A Month in the Village". The play tells a three-way love story in which a university student teaching the son of a rich landowner is torn between the lady of the house and the adopted daughter of the family. The final and uncensored version of the play, revised by the author, was published only in 1869. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
