“Smoke” is one of the novels by the great Russian writer Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev that brought him world fame as an outstanding realist artist. In the novel, the great writer depicts a crisis in Russian society in the 1860s, when people lost clear life guidelines—so their lives became dimmer and somehow smaller. Everything seems to be shrouded in smoke, in which it is very hard for a person not to lose their way and not to lose themselves.
