Ivan Turgenev was born in Oryol, Russia, on November 9, 1818. The son of rural landowners, he moved with his family to the city of Moscow at the age of nine. In 1834, he enrolled at the University of St. Petersburg, where he studied Philosophy. At the age of 19, he published his first collection of poems. He then moved to Germany and attended the University of Berlin, where he joined French literary circles and befriended Gustave Flaubert and Émile Zola. In 1841, he returned to Russia and took a position in the Ministry of Interior. In 1856, he published his first novel, "Rudin," which explores the incompatibility between liberal Western ideas and the rigid Russian society. In 1862, he published his most famous work, "Fathers and Sons," which sparked great controversy at the time. In the novel, the student Bazarov despises any authority, is antisocial, and calls himself a "nihilist." Turgenev was accused of being responsible for criminal acts committed by radicals influenced by his work. The controversy surrounding the novel led Ivan Turgenev to move to Germany. He spent time in London and settled in Bougival, near Paris, where he passed away on September 3, 1883.
