It is highly autobiographical in nature, and centers on a young Russian landowner, Dimitry Sanin, who falls deliriously in love for the Spring Torrents time while visiting the German city of Frankfurt. Written during andwhen Turgenev was in his fifties, the novel Spring Torrents widely held as one of his greatest. Despite its fictional overlay, Torrents of Spring is inspired by the events of Turgenev's life during his tour of the German States. Although Fathers and Sons remains Turgenev's most famous novel, Torrents of Spring is significant Spring Torrents its revealing of the author's life, thoughts, and most intimate emotions. According to Turgenev's biographer Leonard Schapirothe character of Gemma Roselli was inspired by an incident which took place while the future novelist was visiting Frankfurt in A young woman "of extraordinary beauty suddenly emerged from a tea-room to plead for help in reviving her brother, who had fainted. The first was Turgenev's mother, Varvara Petrovna Turgeneva. According to Schapiro, Varvara Petrovna subjected her husband, her son, her servants, and her husband's serfs to systematic physical, emotional, and verbal abuse. All of this left permanent emotional scars upon her son and caused him to always gravitate towards abusive relationships. The second model is Spring Torrents to have been Eleonora Petersen, the first wife of the Spring Torrents Fyodor Tyutchevwith whom Turgenev "conceived some kind of romantic attachment" during his voyage from St. At the time, Spring Torrents was "returning to Munich with her children" and "died the following year". According to Schapiro, Turgenev's "correspondence with his mother suggests that he was in love with" Eleonora, "or fancied himself to be so, but that is as much as we know. According to Schapiro, there are many indications that Torrents of Spring had "some deep personal meaning" for Turgenev. In a letter to his French publisher Hetzel, the author wrote of Maria Nikolaevna, "This she-devil seduced me as she seduced that nit-witted Sanin. In response to a Spring Torrents, criticizing the novel, from the niece of Gustave FlaubertTurgenev expressed agreement that the second half of the novel, "was not very necessary", but explained, "I allowed myself to be carried away by memories. Most revealingly, Turgenev told Isaac Pavlovski, "The entire novel is true. I personally lived and felt it. It is my own history. Turgenev Spring Torrents began work on what became Spring Torrents of Spring in Though originally planned as a short story it had expanded to novel length by the time it was finally completed in late It first saw publication in the January edition of the Vestnik Evropy Herald of Europethe major liberal magazine of late nineteenth Spring Torrents Russia. The issue of the Vestnik Evropy in which Spring Torrents was first published had to be reprinted, an unprecedented event in the history of Russian periodicals. The story opens with a middle-aged Dmitry Sanin rummaging through the papers in his study when he comes across a small cross set with garnets, which sends his thoughts back thirty years to In the summer ofa twenty-two-year-old Sanin, arrives in Frankfurt en route home to Russia from Italy at the culmination of a European tour. During his one-day layover he visits a confectioner's shop where he is rushed upon Spring Torrents a beautiful young woman who emerges frantic from the back room. She is Gemma Roselli, the daughter of the shop's proprietress, Leonora Roselli. Gemma implores Sanin to help her younger brother who has passed out and seems to have stopped breathing. Thanks to Sanin's aid, the boy — whose name is Emilio — emerges from his faint. Grateful for his assistance, Gemma invites Sanin to return to the shop later in the evening to enjoy Spring Torrents cup of chocolate with the family. Later that evening, Sanin formally meets the members of the Roselli household. These include the matriarch, Leonora or Lenore Roselli, her daughter Gemma, her son Emilio or Emileand the family friend Pantaleone, a rather irascible old man and retired opera singer. Over conversation that evening Sanin grows increasingly enamoured with the young Gemma, while the Roselli family is also well-taken by the young, handsome, educated, and gracious Russian. Sanin so enjoys Spring Torrents evening that he Spring Torrents about his plans to take the diligence Spring Torrents to Berlin that night and so misses it. At the end of the evening Spring Torrents Roselli invites Sanin to return the next day. That evening Sanin enjoys another enjoyable time with the Rosellis and becomes yet more taken by the charm and beauty of Gemma. During lunch at an inn the party shares the restaurant with a group of drinking soldiers. A drunken officer among their number approaches Gemma and rather brazenly declares her beauty. The enraged Sanin on the other hand, feels compelled to confront the soldiers, and going over declares the offending officer an insolent cur and his behaviour unbecoming Spring Torrents officer. Sanin also leaves his calling card, anticipating he might be challenged to a duel for his public words. The following morning a friend of the offending German officer arrives early at Sanin's door demanding either an apology or satisfaction on behalf of his friend. Sanin scoffs at any notion of apologizing and so a duel is arranged for the following day near Hanau. Departing the Roselli home that night, Sanin has a brief Spring Torrents with Gemma, who calls him over to a darkened window when she spots him leaving along the street. As they whisper to one another there is a sudden gust of wind that sends Sanin's hat flying and pushes the two together. Sanin later feels this was the Spring Torrents he began to fall in love with Gemma. The next morning on the way to Hanau, Pantaleone's earlier bravado has largely faded. Sanin does his best to embolden him. The officer, feeling his honor has been satisfied, then apologizes for his drunken behavior, an apology Sanin readily accepts. Sanin feels somewhat disgusted afterward that the whole duel was a farce. Pantaleone, however, is overjoyed with the outcome. Returning to Frankfurt with Pantaleone and Emilio who had secretly followed him to the duel siteSanin discovers that Emilio has in turn told Gemma about the duel. Sanin is a little put off by the indiscretion of this pair of chatterboxes, but cannot be angry. Back in Frankfurt, Sanin soon learns from a distraught Frau Lenore that Gemma has cancelled her engagement to Klaus for no apparent reason than that he did not defend her honor sufficiently at the inn. Frau Lenore is frantic at the idea of the scandal this will cause and Sanin promises to talk to Gemma and convince her to reconsider. In Sanin's subsequent talk with Gemma, she professes her love for him but tells him that for his sake she will reconsider her Spring Torrents from Klaus. Astonished and overcome by her confession of love, Sanin then urges her to do nothing just yet. Sanin then returns to his rooms to orient himself to this new development and there pens Spring Torrents own declaration of love to Gemma and gives it to Emilio to deliver. Gemma sends her response telling Sanin not to come to their home the next day, without providing an exact reason. So the next day Sanin spends with a delighted Emilio in the Spring Torrents and that evening returns to his rooms to find a Spring Torrents from Gemma asking him to meet her in a quiet public garden of Frankfurt at seven the next morning. This Sanin Spring Torrents and the two declare their love for one another and Sanin proposes marriage. Frau Lenore is shocked and hurt to Spring Torrents of Sanin's love and thinks Sanin a hypocrite and a cunning seducer. But Sanin demands to meet with the disconsolate Frau Lenore and eventually convinces her of his noble intentions as well as his noble birth and his income sufficient to care for Gemma. Sanin decides he must sell his Spring Torrents estate near Tula in Russia in order to pay for his planned nuptials and settling down with Gemma. By chance, he meets in the street the next day an old schoolmate of his, Hippolyte Sidorovich Polozov, who has come to Spring Torrents from nearby Wiesbaden to do some shopping for his wealthy wife, Maria Nikolaevna. This seems to confirm Sanin's notion that a lucky star follows lovers, for Maria is from the same region near Tula as himself, and her wealth might make her a likely prospect to buy his estate, thus saving him a journey home to Russia. Sanin proposes this notion to the phlegmatic Hippolyte, who informs Sanin that he is never involved in his wife's financial decisions but that Sanin is welcome to return to Wiesbaden with him to present the idea to Maria. Sanin agrees though it will pain him to separate from Gemma. In Wiesbaden, Sanin soon meets the mysterious Maria Nikolaevna Spring Torrents, and though conscious of her beauty is all business as Gemma still owns his heart. Maria informs him that she herself is the daughter of a peasant and indeed speaks to Sanin in the Russian of the common classes rather than high Russian or French. Maria is interested in purchasing Sanin's estate but asks Sanin to give her two days to contemplate it. In the days that follow, and seemingly against his own will and inclination, Sanin finds himself increasingly obsessed by the curious Maria Nikolaevna as she intrudes herself upon his thoughts. Maria invites Sanin to the theater where they share a private box. Bored with the play Spring Torrents retreat further into the Spring Torrents where Maria confesses what she cherished more than anything else is freedom, and thus her marriage to the rather witless Polozov, a marriage in which she can have absolute freedom. Before parting company for the evening Dmitry agrees to go riding with Maria the following day, in what he thinks will be their last meeting before he returns to Frankfurt and she proceeds to Paris. The next Spring Torrents the pair heads off on their ride in the countryside accompanied only by a single groom, whom Maria soon dispatches to a local inn to wile away the afternoon, leaving her and Sanin to themselves. The seemingly fearless Maria leads Sanin on a vigorous ride across the countryside Spring Torrents leaves them invigorated and their horses breathless. When a thunderstorm moves in Maria leads them both to an abandoned cottage where they make love. After their return to Wiesbaden, Sanin is eaten with remorse. When Maria greets her husband in Spring Torrents presence Sanin detects an uncharacteristic Spring Torrents of irritation on Polozov's face and it is revealed that he and his wife Maria had a wager on whether she could seduce Sanin, a wager Polozov has now lost. Maria asks Sanin if he is to return to Frankfurt or accompany them to Paris. His response is that he will follow Maria until she drives him away. His humiliation is complete. The story then reverts to the present, some thirty Spring Torrents after these events. Sanin is again in his study, contemplating the garnet cross previously revealed to have belonged to Gemma ; and Sanin is again eaten with remorse, and Spring Torrents all the bitter and shameful memories he felt after the events of Wiesbaden, such as how he sent a tearful letter to Gemma that went unanswered, how he sent a groom of the Polozovs to fetch his things in Frankfurt, and even how the elderly Pantaleone, accompanied by Emilio, came to Wiesbaden to curse him. Most of all he recounts his embittered and shame-ridden life afterwards, in which he followed Maria until he was thrown off like an old rag and has since remained unmarried and childless. Sanin immediately writes to her, Spring Torrents the events of his life and begging that she respond as a sign that she forgives him. He vows to remain in Frankfurt at the same inn he stayed in thirty years ago until he receives her response. Eventually she does write and forgives him, while telling him about the lives of her family she now Spring Torrents five children and wishing him happiness, while also expressing the joy it would give her to see him again, though she doesn't think it likely. She encloses a picture of her eldest daughter, Marianna, who is engaged to be married. Sanin anonymously sends Marianna a wedding gift: Gemma's garnet cross, now set Spring Torrents a necklace of magnificent pearls. The novel ends with the author noting rumors that Sanin, who is quite financially Spring Torrents off, is planning to sell off his property and move to America.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Even though it was an English version, it still had that Russian style. Not sure how to describe that, but if you've read some Russian classics, I think you know what I mean. This book reminded Spring Torrents of A hero of our Time a bit. Young love, first love, the foolishness of duelling. How does this first love turn out? It took a few months for me to finish it mostly because I was too busy to sit down and listen to this. In the interests of truth I didn't find it a particularly gripping tale. I knew almost Spring Torrents the beginning how the romance was going to end and it was just a matter of confirming it. A young Russian man, Dimitry Spring Torrents, is returning to St. Petersburg by way of Frankfurt after spending the winter in Italy. He chances upon a confectioner's shop run by an Italian family. Due to certain circumstances he misses his coach to St. Petersburg and starts spending time with the Italian family. The young lady of the family, Gemma, is the principal attraction and it comes to pass that Sanin fights a duel for her. Soon thereafter he professes his love for her and asks her Spring Torrents marry him. Gemma accepts although she is already engaged. In order to provide for Gemma Sanin decides to sell his Russian estate. He chances to meet an Spring Torrents school friend who suggests that his Spring Torrents, Maria Nikolaevna, would be prepared to buy it. So Dimitry travels to Wiesbaden with the school friend and meets the wife. Maria Nikolaevna plays with him and then seduces him. Sanin travels to Paris with Maria and her husband Spring Torrents abandons Gemma. Years later he finds a cross that Gemma had given him when he left Franfurt for Wiesbaden and he is moved to find Gemma Spring Torrents order to salve his conscience. Apparently Spring Torrents are autobiographical elements to Spring Torrents book which makes me feel rather sorry for Turgenev but not sorry enough to give my review more than 3 stars. The novel tells the story Spring Torrents Dmitry Sanin, a Russian landowner who travels to Frankfurt and immediately falls in love with Gemma, whose family owns a candy shop. Antics ensue, Spring Torrents are fairly predictable. I found the characters relatively interesting but didn't find much that was very special about this book. That cry for help catapults him into the lives of the Roselli family, where he eventually meets Gemma, the doe eyed daughter of the family with whom Spring Torrents falls utterly in love. The weak-willed Dmitry falls in love with Maria, the very opposite of Gemma, and joins her stable of boy toys who are identified by an iron ring she has given them. Dmitry throws Gemma over and leaves with the Polosovs Spring Torrents Paris. Decades later, Dmitry contacts Gemma, who has married and moved to America. This was my 3rd book by Turgenev, and I really enjoy Spring Torrents writing. It flows easily, and it sets a beautiful scene. He describes the emotional setting well too. I just hope that more of the Russian authors are as easy to read for me as he is. I did find it interesting that in Spring Torrents Love, one of the suitors of the Princess Zinaida was a poet, but she always wanted him to read Pushkin to her. I think I may need to pick Eugene Onegin up soon. An edition of this book was published by Penguin Australia. Home Groups Talk More Zeitgeist.
