About the book

In «The Diary of a Superfluous Man and Other Stories,» Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev deftly explores the internal struggles of his characters within the social and psychological confines of 19th-century Russia. Through a series of poignant narratives featuring the disillusioned aristocrat, the 'superfluous man,' Turgenev employs a lyrical, yet precise prose that illuminates the themes of existential angst and social alienation. His writing reflects the influences of European literary movements like Romanticism and Realism, while also engaging with the philosophical undercurrents prevalent in Russian literature, making it a pivotal work in understanding the period's socio-political struggles. Turgenev, a preeminent figure in Russian literature, was born into a declining noble family, which instigated his fascination with class structure and personal identity. His experiences as a dual citizen of both Russia and Western Europe informed his perspective on the tensions between tradition and modernity. This contextual backdrop shaped his characters, often fraught with indecision and despair, as they navigated a society in flux. Turgenev'Äôs firsthand encounters with revolutionary thinkers further deepened his exploration of human relationships and societal change. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of human emotions and the sociopolitical landscape of 19th-century Russia. Turgenev'Äôs incisive character studies and reflections on the human condition resonate universally, making this anthology not just a mere reflection of its time but a timeless exploration of the contradictions inherent in the human experience.
