Description

The Ardis audio studio presents the first novel by Ivan Turgenev, written in 1855. N. A. Nekrasov wrote about Rudin that he was a person “powerful in all his weaknesses, engaging in all his shortcomings.” An intelligent and educated man—erudite and eloquent, professing high ideals—he turned out to be helpless in putting his aspirations into practice; he couldn’t find happiness and didn’t appreciate love.
