First Love

This collection includes two works of incredible beauty: an engaging tale, full of the subtlest psychology, "First Love", the delightful, lyrical "Asya" – and "Rudin", a novel about the tragedy of a Russian intellectual dreaming of great achievements and great love, but due to his indecisiveness and lack of self-confidence doomed to repeatedly experience failures. The depth of the characters, the excitement of the plots, and the astonishing talent of Turgenev make the acquaintance with his prose unforgettable.
