Writer Henry Oliver continues the Western Canon Book Club series with a salon about the birth of Romanticism.
Turgenev’s greatest novel is one of the greatest Russian novels of the nineteenth century. A response to the new generation of nihilists, who saw the world very differently from their liberal fathers, this is a very resonant novel for our “post-liberal” times.
