Pais e Filhos

Rate this book
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.

About the author

Ivan Turgenev

1,832 books2,748 followers
Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (Cyrillic: Иван Сергеевич Тургенев) was a novelist, poet, and dramatist, and now ranks as one of the towering figures of Russian literature. His major works include the short-story collection A Sportsman’s Sketches (1852) and the novels Rudin (1856), Home of the Gentry (1859), On the Eve (1860), and Fathers and Sons (1862).

These works offer realistic, affectionate portrayals of the Russian peasantry and penetrating studies of the Russian intelligentsia who were attempting to move the country into a new age. His masterpiece, Fathers and Sons, is considered one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century.

Turgenev was a contemporary with Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy. While these wrote about church and religion, Turgenev was more concerned with the movement toward social reform in Russia.
