Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818-1883) was a great Russian novelist and playwright. His novel Fathers and Sons is regarded as one of major works of 19th-century fiction. After the standard schooling for a child of a gentleman's family, He studied for one year at the University of Moscow and then moved to the University of St Petersburg, focusing on the classics, Russian literature and philology. Turgenev was impressed with German Central-European society, and believed that Russia could best improve itself by imitating the West. Like many of his educated contemporaries, he was particularly opposed to serfdom. He first made his name with A Sportsman's Sketches, also known as Sketches From a Hunter's Album; or, Notes of a Hunter. He wrote several short novels like The Diary of a Superfluous Man, Faust and The Lull. In them Turgenev expressed the anxieties and hopes of Russians of his generation. Amongst his other works are Liza: A Nest of Nobles, The Jew and Other Stories, On the Eve, A Reckless Character and Other Stories, The Torrents of Spring, and The Rendezvous. [more]

It Was Late In November, 1456. The Snow Fell Over Paris With Rigorous, Relentless Persistence; Sometimes The Wind Made A Sally And Scattered It In Flying Vortices; Sometimes There Was A Lull, And Flake After Flake Descended Out Of The Black Night Air, Silent, Circuitous, Interminable. To Poor People, Looking Up Under Moist Eyebrows, It Seemed A Wonder Where It All Came From. Master Francis Villon Had Propounded An Alternative That Afternoon, At A Tavern Window: Was It Only Pagan Jupiter Plucking Geese Upon Olympus? Or Were The Holy Angels Moulting? He Was Only A Poor Master Of Arts, He Went On; And As The Question Somewhat Touched Upon Divinity, He Durst Not Venture To Conclude. A Silly Old Priest From Montargis, Who Was Among The Company, Treated The Young Rascal To A Bottle Of Wine In Honour Of The Jest And Grimaces With Which It Was Accompanied, And Swore On His Own White Beard That He Had Been Just Such Another Irreverent Dog When He Was Villon's Age.

What vain weathercocks we are! I, who had determined to hold myself independent of all social intercourse, and thanked my stars that, at length, I had lighted on a spot where it was next to impracticable—I, weak wretch, after maintaining till dusk a struggle with low spirits and solitude, was finally compelled to strike my colours; and under pretence of gaining information concerning the necessities of my establishment, I desired Mrs. Dean, when she brought in supper, to sit down while I ate it; hoping sincerely she would prove a regular gossip, and either rouse me to animation or lull me to sleep by her talk. ‘You have lived here a considerable time,’ I commenced; ‘did you not say sixteen years?’ ‘Eighteen, sir: I came when the mistress was married, to wait on her; after she died, the master retained me for his housekeeper.’ ‘Indeed.’ There ensued a pause. She was not a gossip, I feared; unless about her own affairs, and those could hardly interest me. However, having studied for an interval, with a fist on either knee, and a cloud of meditation over her ruddy countenance, she ejaculated—‘Ah, times are greatly changed since then!’ ‘Yes,’ I remarked, ‘you’ve seen a good many alterations, I suppose?’ ‘I have: and troubles too,’ she said. ‘Oh, I’ll turn the talk on my landlord’s family!’ I thought to myself. ‘A good subject to start! And that pretty girl-widow, I should like to know her history: whether she be a native of the country, or, as is more probable, an exotic that the surly indigenae will not recognise for kin.’ With this intention I asked Mrs. Dean why Heathcliff let Thrushcross Grange, and preferred living in a situation and residence so much inferior. ‘Is he not rich enough to keep the estate in good order?’ I inquired. ‘Rich, sir!’ she returned. ‘He has nobody knows what money, and every year it increases. Yes, yes, he’s rich enough to live in a finer house than this: but he’s very near—close-handed; and, if he had meant to flit to Thrushcross Grange, as soon as he heard of a good tenant he could not have borne to miss the chance of getting a few hundreds more. It is strange people should be so greedy, when they are alone in the world!’ ‘He had a son, it seems?’ ‘Yes, he had one—he is dead.’ ‘And that young lady, Mrs. Heathcliff, is his widow?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Where did she come from originally?’ ‘Why, sir, she is my late master’s daughter: Catherine Linton was her maiden name. I nursed her, poor thing! I did wish Mr. Heathcliff would remove here, and then we might have been together again.’ ‘What! Catherine Linton?’ I exclaimed, astonished. But a minute’s reflection convinced me it was not my ghostly Catherine. ‘Then,’ I continued, ‘my predecessor’s name was Linton?’ ‘It was.’ ‘And who is that Earnshaw: Hareton Earnshaw, who lives with Mr. Heathcliff? Are they relations?’ ‘No; he is the late Mrs. Linton’s nephew.’ ‘The young lady’s cousin, then?’ ‘Yes; and her husband was her cousin also: one on the mother’s, the other on the [more]
