About this book

Turgenev's Russian novel of 1859, Dvoryanskoe Gnezdo, reached English readers in W. R. S. Ralston's translation under the title Liza, with a preface by the translator. The story centres on Fyodor Lavretsky, a landowner who comes back to provincial Russia after years abroad, and on his feeling for the devout young Liza Kalitina. Ralston's preface introduces the author to English readers, praises his skill at drawing character, and recalls the Sportsman's Sketches, which first made his name through their picture of country life under serfdom.

Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev

Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883) was a Russian novelist and playwright, the first of his countrymen to win a wide European readership. A friend of Flaubert and Henry James, he wrote with a spare lyricism, and his Fathers and Sons remains a landmark of the nineteenth-century novel.
