Fathers and Sons (DISPUTED)
Turgenev, the unforgettable author of classical Russian literature, followed a completely different path from his contemporaries and displayed a closer attitude to the novels written in Europe and European culture during his time. Fathers and Sons, described as Turgenev's masterpiece, bears the traces of this influence.
Bazarov, the prominent character of the novel, opposes his friend Arkady and his father and uncle, who choose to live with modern values, in such a frustrating way that when the nihilism he displays is combined with Bazarov's great intelligence, it becomes inevitable for the young subversive to be attacked. Just like Turgenev, who was heavily attacked after the novel was published. Ivan Turgenev had to leave his country after the publication of Fathers and Sons and continued his life in Europe.
