Turgenev's creation of the first literary nihilist and his demonstration of the failure of communication between generations succeeded in enraging both fathers and sons in the Russia of his time; they also help to explain the appeal of this work to Europeans today. Yet FATHERS AND SONS also contains some of the most moving scenes in the literature of any language.
