Pais e Filhos
O jovem Bazárov tem tantas qualidades quanto transborda de impaciência e causticidade. Niilista, como de si próprio diz, anti-social e avesso a todos os tipos de autoridade, é mentor de Arkádi Kirsánov, que, terminados os estudos na universidade, regressa a casa na companhia de Bazárov. Rapidamente, esta figura, um corpo estranho agora infiltrado na família, transforma-se no combustível para grandes convulsões na propriedade e na vida dos Kirsánov, reflectindo, vívida e exemplarmente, as grandes mudanças que acontecem na Rússia do século XIX.Hoje considerado um dos grandes romances dos últimos duzentos anos, Pais e Filhos foi publicado em 1862 e causou grande celeuma, tanto entre as gerações mais novas como junto dos mais velhos - reaccionários, românticos ou radicais -, enquanto, pela Europa fora, Turguénev recebia o elogio de autores como Flaubert, Maupassant e Henry James. Traduzido directamente do russo por Nina Guerra e Filipe Guerra, vencedores do Grande Prémio de Tradução Literária APT/PEN Clube Português.
