Collected Works of Ivan Turgenev
This book begins with two of Turgenev's complete novels, 'Fathers and Sons' and 'Smoke, ' followed by nine of his best known short stories.
First Love
"First Love" tells the love story between a 21-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. This unique, sensitive story of young love revolves around a boy, Vladimir Petrovich, who falls hopelessly in love with a pretty young woman named Zinaida. She has a set of various suitors who are more eligible socially. Vladimir undergoes an extreme shift in emotions, from joy and jealousy to dismay and affection.
