Verzamelde werken, deel III: Verhalen
Vele van de hier bijeengebrachte verhalen van de Russische schrijver Iwan Toergenjew behoren tot het beste wat in de negentiende eeuw waar ook ter wereld is geschreven. Novellen als 'Eerste liefde', 'Lentebeken', 'Een koning Lear uit de steppe' zijn onvergankelijke literaire meesterstukjes - en dat niet alleen door hun boeiende inhoud, maar daarbij zeker ook door Toergenjews hechte compositie, levendige verhaaltechniek en zijn subtielmuzikale stijl, waarvan de heldere eenvoud, de lyrische charme en tegelijkertijd beheerste gevoeligheid indeze Nederlandse vertaling volledig behouden zijn gebleven. Toergenjew is een negentiende-eeuwer die voor alle tijden schreef.
