Summary:

Originally published in 1862, Fathers and Children (also known as Fathers and Sons), was the first Russian novel to be really popular in the Western World, with authors such as Gustave Flaubert, Guy de Maupassant, and Henry James, being some of the established writers to give their approval. It tells the story of Arkady Kirsanov and Yevgeny Bazarov, two young men who have just finished University, and who return to Arkady's family home. Conflict arises when the family, with their more liberal, traditional views, clash with the young students, who are new adherents to Nihilism.
