Produced by Annemie Arnst, Ema Majhut and Marc D'Hooghe (Images generously made available by the Bodleian Library, Oxford) "Fathers and Sons" by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the generational conflicts between fathers and their sons, particularly through the character of Bazarov, who embodies the emerging idea of Nihilism in Russian society. The story primarily focuses on Arkady Kirsanov, a newly graduated student, and his father, Nikolai Petrovitch Kirsanov, highlighting the tensions and differing ideologies between them. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Nikolai Petrovitch as he waits for his son Arkady to return home from university, filled with excitement and nostalgia for his late wife. When Arkady arrives with his friend Bazarov, the dynamic shifts as Bazarov's radical ideas challenge the older generation's values. The opening chapters set the stage for exploring themes of change, tradition, and social criticism through the interactions between these characters, establishing a rich context for the unfolding drama of generational differences and philosophical debates.
