Another Russian arrived in Antofagens lands. “Fathers and Sons”, by Ivan Turgenev, is the label’s newest release. Centered on conversations between Arkády Kirsánov and Bazarov, the young ones, and Nikolai and Pável Kirsánov, the old ones, who go through different subjects, such as work, science and love, the plot represents the conflict between generations. Long before the fight between Generation Z x Millenials, the clash presented here generated a lot of buzz upon its release, mainly due to the character of Bazarov, the first nihilist in literature. In today's video, we talk a little more about this important work that launched Ivan Turgenev as the first Russian to be known in Europe. We also talk about Turgenev's life, his literary influence and the role of the Russian intelligentsia. The Antofágica edition has more than 90 illustrations by William Galdino, and the translation, directly from Russian, is by Lucas Simone. Juliana Cunha, a PhD student in Literary Theory at USP, writes a presentation about her experience reading the book. Psychoanalyst Ana Suy writes an afterword on the challenges of intergenerational relationships, and writer Martha Batalha writes an essay positioning Fathers and Sons in a broader context of Russian literature. Fátima Bianchi, professor of Language and Literature at FFLCH-USP, offers us an overview of the life and work of Ivan Turgeniev. The video lessons that accompany the book are provided by Raquel Toledo, master in Russian Literature from USP. ► THE ETERNAL battle of generations in Russian literature by Ivan Turgenev ► Pre-order your copy with a 50% discount: https://amzn.to/46OVsmo ► Books mentioned in the video: “Memoirs of a Hunter”, by Ivan Turgenev: https://amzn.to/3MkygnS ► Discover Antofágica's first course, Journey through Russian Literature.
