He walked about the room, sat down to the table, took a sheet of paper, traced a few lines on it, and at once blotted them out…. He recalled Gemma's wonderful figure in the dark window, in the starlight, set all a-fluttering by the warm hurricane; he remembered her. . . Read More

I have never read a book so swiftly and with such interest. I could almost laugh at how true this story felt to me; there could not be characters any more real or suited to my taste if I had written a novel myself. The plot is engaging and moves at a rapid pace, there is never a dull moment. The...more

Așa cum presimțeam înainte să mă apuc de citit romanul, subiectul său e dat de o temă nu predilectă, ci definitorie (aproape totală) în opera lui Turgheniev: resemnarea în față iubirii pierdute a tinereții.
De Turgheniev am dat când am citit Un cuib de nobili, din colecția Adevărul, undeva prin 2...more
If I understood well, Turgenev planned for Spring Torrents to be a short story, but at some point he changed his mind and turned it into a novel. I can't complain, because I think this books makes for a fine novel, even if a bit unorthodox one. One could argue that it is unbalanced. One could eve...more
Another entertaining book by Mr Turgenev.
The author seems more optimistic than his peers:
even though in Torrents: love and betrayal compete
disastrously, he still manages at the end to resolve
his hero and his heroine with some happiness.
An artful story teller. Very recommendable.
This book was surprisingly good! I must thank my Goodreads friend Kelly for finding this author! I will definitely be reading more by him!
The Torrents of Spring by Ivan Turganev was written in 1870 but thought to be a highly autobiographical rendition of events that occurred in his life in 1840. it is considered to be one of his greatest novels. It is the first for me.
The hero of this book is named Dmitri Savin. On a trip to Frankf...more
I enjoyed this for its character portrayal much more than for the plot line. In the second half of the story, there is a piquant twist that does add some intrigue. The characters are amusing and the swipes at different cultural tendencies are fun.
The main character is telling the story. He is Ru...more
That's it, Turgenev is officially my favourite Russian! And this novelette was written to remind us how love can drive us astray, shift our personality and completely alter our life course (be it for better or for worse). Powerful prose and colourful images of the romantic era, also a female char...more
3.5 stars
It’s a while since I read any Turgenev and this is regarded as one of Turgenev’s better novels, if not his best known. Like Proust’s madeleine, here a garnet cross triggers recollection in Sanin. Sanin is 52 and the cross takes him back thirty years, to his youth and first love.
Sanin wa...more
