Om denne e-boken

A new translation from the original Russian manuscript with a new Afterword by the Translator, a glossary of Turgenev's philosophic terms, and a timeline of his life and major contributions.

"An Unhappy Girl" (also known as "Neschastnaya" or "The Unfortunate" in some translations) is a novella written by Ivan Turgenev. First published in 1868, the story offers a glimpse into the life of Susanna, a woman of Jewish descent who, because of her roots, is cast adrift in the Russian social structure. The narrative unfolds from the perspective of a distant observer, Maximov, who becomes inadvertently involved in Susanna's life. Turgenev weaves themes of love, alienation and tragedy against the backdrop of Russia's strong social and religious prejudices. This poignant story not only explores the personal torment of the titular "unhappy girl", but also casts a critical eye on the deeply rooted prejudices and indifference of the society of his time.

Om forfatteren

A Russian novelist, poet, and playwright, and personal friend of Gogold, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, Turgenev was a key figure in the Russian literary realism movement. His novel "Fathers and Sons" is notable for introducing the character type of 'nihilist' and for its portrayal of the generational schism in Russian society. Turgenev's writings significantly influenced the development of Russian literature and also had a substantial impact on readers in Western Europe.
