He was also a consummate short story writer, poet and playwright, and the first Russian author to become popular in the West. This specially curated collection showcases his key works, from the most celebrated to the undeservedly underrated.</p><p>Described as one of the most perfect things ever written, the lyrical novella <em><strong>First Love</strong></em> tells the story of 16-year-old Vladimir, whose longing for the capricious Zinaida informs his whole life. Dramatised for Radio 4, it stars <strong>Simon Cadell, Rosalind Ayres</strong> and <strong>Bill Nighy</strong>. Succeeding it is Turgenevs masterpiece, <em><strong>Fathers and Sons</strong></em>, an exploration of the eternal conflict between the reactionary older generation and the revolutionary younger one. <strong>John Castle</strong> stars as youthful nihilist Bazarov, with <strong>Maurice Denham</strong> as his father Nikolai. First published in 1855 as <em>Two Women</em>, Turgenevs best-known play <em><strong>A Month in the Country</strong></em> centres around a landowners wife who finds herself attracted to her sons tutor. Translated by Isaiah Berlin, our Radio 3 version stars <strong>Maureen OBrien</strong> and <strong>Gerard Murphy</strong>.</p><p>Written a few years before <em>A Month in the Country</em>, the little-known play <em><strong>The Poor Gentleman</strong></em> is an emotional comedy about an elderly mans devotion to a daughter he can never recognise publicly. It stars <strong>Frank Finlay, Morag Hood</strong> and <strong>Colin Baker</strong>. Next up is <em><strong>Smoke</strong></em>, Turgenevs only novel not to be set in Russia. Baden Baden is the setting for a tale that blends poignant love story and searing political satire, starring <strong>Garard Green, Rachel Gurney</strong> and <strong>Patricia Leventon</strong>. Meanwhile, in the short story <strong>The Dog,</strong> a mild Hussar (<strong>Timothy West</strong>) is the subject of a bizarre haunting</p><p>Turgenevs debut novel, <em><strong>Rudin</strong></em>, features that archetypal character in Russian literature, the superfluous man. <strong>Ian Holm</strong> stars as the eponymous hero, an idealistic intellectual who is incapable of taking action: and suffers for it. Set just before the Crimean War, the romantic novella <em><strong>On the Eve</strong></em> has passion and patriotism as its themes. <strong>Amanda Root</strong> stars as the upper-class Elena, who embarks on a doomed affair with Bulgarian revolutionary Insarov (<strong>Philip Franks</strong>). We conclude as we began, with a tale of first love <em><strong>Spring Torrents</strong></em>, one of Turgenevs greatest and most autobiographical novellas. Adapted for Radio 4s Book at Bedtime, it is read by <strong>David Horovitch</strong>.</p><p>First published 1848 (<em>The Poor Gentleman</em>), 1855/1872 <em>(A Month in the Country)</em>, 1857 (<em>Rudin</em>), 1860 (<em>First Love, On the Eve)</em>, 1862 (<em>Fathers and Sons</em>), 1866 (The Dog), 1867 <em>(Smoke)</em>, 1872 (<em>Spring Torrents</em>)</p><p><em>Production credits</em><br />Written by Ivan Turgenev<br />With thanks to Keith Wickham</p><p><strong>Contents List</strong><br /><em><strong>First Love</strong></em><br /><em><strong>Fathers and Sons</strong></em><br /><em><strong>A Month in the Country</strong></em><br /><em><strong>The Poor Gentleman</strong></em><br /><em><strong>Smoke</strong></em><br /><em><strong>The Dog</strong></em><br /><em><strong>Rudin</strong></em><br /><em><strong>On the Eve</strong></em><br /><em><strong>Spring Torrents</strong></em></p><p> 2024 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.
