Series: Oxford World's Classics

This collection brings together six of Turgenev's best-known `long' short stories, in which he turns his skills of psychological observation and black comedy to subjects as diverse as the tyranny of serfdom, love, and revenge on the Russian steppes.

These stories all display the elegance and clarity of Turgenev's finest writing.

Richard Freeborn was until recently Professor of Russian at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, London.

Reviews for First Love and Other Stories

'Turgenev's superbly ironic story, The Diary Of A Superfluous Man, in which a dying man reflects on the futility of his life, is among the six collected in this volume, in Oxford University Press's valuable series of classic texts.' Guardian
