The Atmospheric Novel : Virgin Soil
Virgin Soil
by Ivan Turgenev • Introduction by Charlotte Hobson

Turgenev was the most liberal-spirited and unqualifiedly humane of all the great nineteenth-century Russian novelists, and in Virgin Soil, his biggest and most ambitious work, he sought to balance his deep affection for his country with his growing apprehensions about its future. This is at once a love story, a bitterly funny satire, and, perhaps most movingly, a heartfelt celebration of beauty of the Russian countryside in which one of the world's finest novelists confronts the enduring question of the place of happiness in a political world.
