Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Novels and Stories of Ivan Turgenieff, Vol. 1: Virgin Oil "Virgin Soil," Turgénieff´s last great romance, was published in 1877, beginning in the January number of the European Messenger. For three years previously Turgenieff had been collecting materials, in Russia and abroad, for this new novel, which was consecrated to the portrayal of the "new men." He always sedulously followed up all new phenomena in Russian life, and the movement "to the people," which made its appearance at the beginning of the ´70s, together with the socialistic propaganda, had interested him deeply for years. Like "Fathers and Children," and "Smoke," "Virgin Soil," on its appearance, instantly evoked in the literary world and still more in the public interminable disputes, the subject of which was, as before, the author´s personal attitude toward the topic of the time which was most palpitating with interest. Many of the judgments expressed were hostile to Turgenieff, so that once more he began (as he had already done thirteen or fourteen years previously, after the harsh criticisms on "Fathers and Children") to express a decided wish to abandon his literary activity.
