Synopsis

In Rudin (1855) and On The Eve (1859), Turgenev portrays through tales of passionate, problematic love the conflicts of cultural loyalty and national identity at the heart of nineteenth century Russia. Both novels reflect Turgenev's concern with the failings of Russia's educated class, the only class he believed was capable of building a civilized and humane Russia based on the principles of European enlightenment. The only joint edition available, this fluent translation does full justice to Turgenev's delicate and emotional style.

From Library Journal:

While neither of these titles is out of print, this new Oxford edition provides both works for the price of one. Add to that scholarly notes by translator McDuff, an introduction, a bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life, and you have a real bargain.
