Fathers and Children (NCE) Second Edition: 0 (Norton Critical Editions)

So helpful to read this translation of Turgenev’s great novel— I understand why the translator changed the title to Fathers and Children but will be sorry if it means readers are less likely to find this version. As always, the Norton collection of contemporaneous and later essays on the book and its reception and influence help place the work in important context. Not sure why Norton doesn’t have a Kindle version — perhaps copyright limitations on the essays it includes here — but this version is still worth waiting for (rather than having the more immediate gratification of downloading the e-book).

I read this novella many years ago with a far inferior translation. This translation is very smooth and includes footnotes for many cultural references. The criticism and analysis at the end of the text is quite extensive - makes this book worth the price when compared to others that are text only. You won't be disappointed.

now one of my favorite books. excellent translation. excellent essays in this critical edition

Truly fine translation. Very helpful accompanying articles.
