Ivan Turgenev

Forfatterbiografi

Ivan Turgenev (1818–1883) var en russisk forfatter, kendt som en af hovedskikkelserne i den realistiske russiske prosa. Han blev født i Orel-området og døde i Paris-området, hvor han tilbragte sine sidste år. Turgenevs forfatterskab bevæger sig især inden for romaner, noveller og dramatik og kredser ofte om menneskelige relationer, følelsernes udvikling og spændingen mellem idealer og hverdagsliv. Novellen First Love udkom i 1860 og er blandt hans mest læste værker: den skildrer en ungdommelig forelskelses oplevelse og de følelsesmæssige konsekvenser, der følger, når virkeligheden udfordrer romantiske forestillinger. Udover First Love regnes også romanen Fathers and Sons (1862) som et markant bidrag til 1800-tallets litterære gennembrud og til den måde, russisk prosa blev brugt til at undersøge ideer, generationer og moral. Turgenev blev gennem sit forfatterskab en væsentlig formidler af russisk litteratur til Europa, og hans stil og emnekredsen har haft betydelig indflydelse på både samtid og eftertid. Hans fremstilling af kærlighed som en udviklende, og ikke blot statisk, livserfaring bliver ofte fremhævet som typisk for hans realistiske fortællekunst.
