Description
“First Love” tells of the feelings and the emotional turmoil connected with them of a young hero whose teenage infatuation collides irreversibly with the drama and self-sacrifice of adult love.
It was written by Ivan Turgenev in January–March 1860 in St. Petersburg. It is based on the author’s personal emotional experience and events within his family. As Turgenev himself expressed about the story: “A real incident was described without the slightest embellishment… I portrayed my father. Many people condemned me for that, and especially for the fact that I never hid it. But I think there is nothing bad about it. I have nothing to hide.”
