Ivan Turgenev was able to contain the narrative sweep of a novel in a single short story. His tales evoke the joy and painful turbulence of first love, the grandiose flights of youthful imagination, and the wistful reflections of maturity. Turgenev brought his characters vividly to life, rendering their complex interior lives, whether nobleman or serf, in writing charged with a profound social conscience.

This collection, in a lyrical new translation by Nicolas Pasternak Slater and Maya Slater, places Turgenev's great novella First Love alongside a selection of his classic stories. From the rural scenes of 'Bezhin Meadow' and 'The Rattling!' to the pathos and profundity of 'The District Doctor' and 'Biryuk', these are miniature epics brimming with humanity.
