# Fathers and Children

By Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev.

"Fathers and Children" by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a novel published in 1862. When university graduate Arkady returns home with his friend Bazarov, a self-proclaimed nihilist, their radical philosophy clashes with the older generation's values. Bazarov's rejection of tradition and emotion is tested when he meets the captivating Anna Odintsova. As romantic entanglements develop and tensions escalate between generations, the young men must confront whether their ideals can withstand the complexities of love, family, and mortality in nineteenth-century Russia.
