    His book First Love was also so brilliant! I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m just about to start Father and Sons right now. First Love left me breathless a year ago and I’m nervous about not liking it as much, even though it’s his magnum opus.

      Ahh you know I haven't yet read that one. I still have to buy First Love actually.
      Fathers and Sons is also a very gripping and profound read. Bazarov was my favorite character from the novel!

    You are right : Bazarov makes the book interesting. Without him, it would be dull -- in translation anyway. Imagine tho' Bazarov as e.g. a dilettante-student; he would have much < force. It is because he is an excellent scientist, a physician to be, that his critical thinking derives its power

      But, then, Ivan Turgenev did state that one day all the authors would sit under the shade of Leo Tolstoy and that was only after his first two books: "Childhood" (1852) and "Boyhood" (1856).
      Leo Tolstoy went on to write "War and Peace" (1867) and "Anna Karenina" (1878) which are considered by the public to be two of the greatest stories of all time.
      According to this attached video the third greatest work by Leo Tolstoy was encouraged by Turgenev on his death bed in 1883, and it is my favorite story of all by Leo Tolstoy, "Resurrection" (1899).
      Though I love "Resurrection" more than any of Ivan Turgenev's novels, if I could have only written five stories on my favorite books list it would all be books by Ivan Turgenev.
      I wish I had written these five books more than any other books by any other author and all of them are by Ivan Turgenev: Fathers and Sons, Smoke, Virgin Soil, Torrents of Spring, and First Love.
      Ivan Turgenev has more books on my top 100 favorite books list than any other author. So many books, no author shall ever surpass him.
      They reveal the depth of human conditioning of personality, relationships between people, perceptions on life, failures in ability despite all the passion or drive, and what humans honor, and, in his writing style, he reveals these things in ways that are amazing.

      @@xyzme1217, if you had asked me who my favorite author was before making the list I would have answered Fyodor Dostoevsky, but now both Leo Tolstoy and Ivan Turgenev have two books in the top ten books I've ever read. There is value to calculating what you like and what authors you like so that you read things you want to read.
      1) Do you have a favorite book from your youth?
      2) Do you have a favorite book of all time you read?
      3) Do you have a book you'd suggest all people should read for what they can learn from the book?
      4) Because family can think like you, do you know a reader in your family and what do they like to read?
      My mom loved Russian literature and got me reading them. When I was little I'd grab her book and read one chapter from a big book. I felt they seemed interesting so as I got older I read all of the ones I had looked over before completely.
      My uncle, who died (1923-2004), had two books he felt everybody should read. My aunt casually told me that and the two books, so I read them. They also fell high on my list.
