This vintage book contains a small collection of stories written by the Russian novelist, Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev. The stories in this collection include: 'The Diary of a Superfluous Man', 'A Tour in the Forest', 'Yakov Pasinkov', 'Andrei Kolosov', and 'A Correspondence'. Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818 - 1883) was a Russian novelist who also wrote short stories and plays. His first major book was a collection of short stories entitled 'A Sportsman's Sketches' (1852), which constituted a milestone in Russian Realism. His 1862 novel "Fathers and Sons" is considered to be one of the most important works of nineteenth century fiction. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

When Turgenev published Diary of a Superfluous Man in 1850, he created one of the first literary portraits of the alienated man. Turgenev once said that there was a great deal of himself in the unsuccessful lovers who appear in his fiction. This failure, along with painful self-consciousness, is a central fact for the ailing Chulkaturin in this melancholy tale. As he reflects on his life, he tells the story of Liza, whom he loved, and a prince, whom she loved instead, and the curious turns all their lives took.

Driven to his deathbed by an incurable disease, the thirty-year-old impoverished gentleman Chulkaturin decides to write a diary looking back on his short life. After describing his youthful disillusionment and his family's fall from grace and loss of status, the narrative focuses on his love for Liza, the daughter of a senior civil servant, his rivalry with the dashing Prince N. and his ensuing humiliation. These pages helped establish the archetype of the "e;superfluous man"e;, a recurring figure in nineteenth-century Russian literature.First published in 1850, 'The Diary of a Superfluous Man' was initially censored by the authorities, as some of its passages were deemed too critical of Russian society. This volume also includes two other masterly novellas, also touching on the theme of disappointed love: 'Asya' and 'First Love'.
