Sinopse

In "Fathers and Sons," Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev navigates the chasm between generations during the mid-19th century in Russia, illuminating the ideological rift between the traditional values of the aristocracy and the progressive sentiments of the nihilist youth. Written in a lyrical yet incisive style, Turgenev employs rich character development and dialogue to explore themes of love, conflict, and the quest for identity. The novel's intricate tapestry of interactions deftly captures the turbulence of societal change, making it a pivotal work in the context of Russian literature and its reflective commentary on contemporary social dilemmas. Turgenev, a prominent figure in the Russian literary canon, was influenced by the rapid transformations occurring in both his homeland and Europe. His own experiences with Western philosophy and the rise of a new generation mirrored the characters' struggles, fueling his desire to present a balanced portrayal of differing perspectives. The author's upper-class upbringing and his deep affinity for nature and the human condition resonate throughout the narrative, shaping his characters' struggles and aspirations. "Fathers and Sons" is essential reading for those interested in exploring the conflicts of ideological evolution and personal relationships. Turgenev's profound insights into human nature and his evocative prose will leave readers reflecting on their own values and connections, making this novel a timeless exploration of generational conflict.

Hopkins can identify no motive for the killing, with Smith having no enemies or trouble in his past. Smith was found by Coram's maid, who recounts his last words as "The professor; it was she."The maid further told Hopkins that prior to the murder she heard Smith leave his room and walk down to the study; she had been hanging curtains and did not see him, only recognizing his brisk step. The professor was in bed at the time. A minute later, a hoarse scream issued from the study, and the maid, hesitating briefly, inspected and found the murder. She later tells Holmes that Smith went out for a walk not long before the murder...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.
