Bücher von Ivan Turgenev

On the Eve is the third novel by Russian writer Ivan Turgenev. It has elements of social comedy but fell foul of radical critics who advocated the need of more overt reform. The story revolves around Elena Stakhova, a girl with a hypochondriac mother and an idle father, a retired guards lieutenant with a mistress. On the eve of the Crimean War, Elena is pursued by a free-spirited sculptor (Pavel Shubin) and a serious-minded student (Andrei Berzyenev). But when Berzyenev's revolutionary Bulgarian friend, Dmitri Insarov, meets Elena, they fall in love. In secretly marrying Insarov Elena disappoints her mother and enrages her father, who had hoped to marry her to a dull, self-satisfied functionary, Kurnatovski. Insarov nearly dies from pneumonia and only partly recovers. On the outbreak of war Insarov tries to return with Elena to Bulgaria, but dies in Venice. Elena takes Insarov's body to the Balkans for burial and then vanishes. Elizabeth Egloff adapted the novel into a stage play titled "The Lover." It premiered at Baltimore's Center Stage theater in 1996. (wikipedia.org)

A Sportsman's Sketches (also known as A Sportman's Notebook, The Hunting Sketches and Sketches from a Hunter's Album) is an 1852 cycle of short stories by Ivan Turgenev. It was the first major writing that gained him recognition.This work is part of the Russian realist tradition in that the narrator is usually an uncommitted observer of the people he meets. This series of short stories revealed Turgenev's unique talent as a short story writer. Evidently it greatly influenced all Russian short story writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Anton Chekhov, Ivan Bunin, Alexander Kuprin and many others.Other world writers also admired Turgenev's style. Sherwood Anderson was particularly influenced by Turgenev's literature. He considered A Sportsman's Sketches to be a paradigm for his own short stories.More recently, Turgenev has been criticized for his somewhat idealized characterization of muzhiks. Turgenev's muzhiks have been compared to other noble savages in 19th-century fiction (such as American Indians in works by J. F. Cooper). (wikipedia.org)

Dieses Jahrhundertbuch der russischen Literatur war künstlerisches Ereignis und Politikum zugleich. In seiner Verbindung stilistischer Virtuosität mit humanistischer Emphase - nämlich zugunsten der Aufhebung der Leibeigenschaft -, machte es den Autor auf einen Schlag weltberühmt. «Dostoevskij ist ein gewaltiger Dichter, aber in Turgenev ist die vollkommenste Magie des Künstlerischen.» (Hugo von Hofmannsthal)Ivan Turgenevs (1818-1883) meisterliche Komposition von fünfundzwanzig Erzählungen rundet sich zu einem subtilen Epochenbild Rußlands zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Das Landleben, wie es sich dem umherstreifenden Jäger darbietet, ist alles andere als ein beschauliches Idyll. Elend, Unmenschlichkeit und Gewalt werden schonungslos als Resultat der herrschenden Verhältnisse entlarvt. Der harmlos klingende Titel sollte suggerieren, es gehe in diesem Buch um landläufiges Jägerlatein. Doch die Zensurbehörde des Zaren ließ sich nicht lange hinters Licht führen und verbot das Buch noch im Erscheinungsjahr. Die Schil¬derung menschenverachtender Zustände, die aufklärerisch-realistische Figurenzeichnung vom Leibeigenen bis zum Gutsbesitzer, in ihrer Drastik verschärft durch die ironische Erzählhaltung, wirkten als Sprengstoff in der Diskussion um die Aufhebung der Leibeigenschaft in Rußland. Peter Urban, ausgewiesener Kenner und Vermittler russischer Weltliteratur, erschließt in seiner Neuübersetzung den Bedeutungs- und Nuancenreichtum des Werks. Für diese Ausgabe hat er zudem drei Erzählungen aus dem Umfeld der «Aufzeichnungen» erstmals ins Deutsche übertragen.

Set in Baden-Baden, Smoke is Ivan Turgenev's most cosmopolitan novel. It is an exquisite study of politics and society and an enduringly poignant love story. Smoke, with its European setting, barbed wit, and visionary call for Russia to look west, became the center of a famous philosophical breach between Turgenev and Dostoevsky.

This play explores the paradox of humour and despair to be found in the casual infliction of cruelty. It follows the homecoming of Olga Petrovna and her husband, Yeletsky, to her deceased parent's country manor which should be a happy affair for the house's resident penniless gentlemen, Kuzovkin.
