Tolstoy considered "Asya", written in 1858, one of Turgenev's two best stories, along with "First Love". Asya is a tragic story of two Russians abroad who are in love but conceal it from each other. Constance Garrett and Isabel Hapgood translated Asya in antiquated style approximately 100 years ago. Despite the story's superb character portrayals, it has rarely been available since. This translation is based on the Russian text published in 1961 in Moscow by the Government Publishing House of Artistic Literature.

Padri e figli, del 1862, il capolavoro di Turgenev, è considerato da molti come una delle creazioni meglio riuscite della novellistica dell'ottocento, anche se i critici russi contemporanei non lo apprezzarono. Nel romanzo l'autore descrive in modo estremamente efficace il primo diffondersi delle idee rivoluzionarie e nichiliste in Russia. Il personaggio principale del romanzo, Bazarov, è un propugnatore di tali idee, ma si trova in conflitto con le proprie emozioni, che la sua mente non esita a tacciare come “sciocchi romanticismi”.

"The District Doctor" is a wonderful Turgenev short story that appealed and influenced American authors, such as Henry James and F.

As the Doctor says to a new acquaintance, "Sometimes you know people for a long time and never talk about anything that touches the soul; sometimes you start there on the first conversation."

Father and Children by Ivan Turgenev is a novel that explores the ideological conflict between the older generation of Russian nobility and the younger, nihilist generation. It's a poignant narrative on the challenges of understanding across generational divides, set against the backdrop of changing Russian society in the 19th century. Through the characters of Bazarov, a self-declared nihilist, and Arkady, his friend and foil, Turgenev delves into themes of love, friendship, and the clash of evolving philosophies.
