Description

Padri e figli (1862) è l'analisi impietosa del conflitto generazionale che domina la Russia degli anni Sessanta dell'Ottocento. Ai padri, aristocratici, idealisti, immobili nella loro privilegiata sclerosi, si contrappongono i figli, democratici, materialisti, nichilisti. Impegnati a costruire un solido universo al negativo, questi rifiutano valori, principi, fedi: l'importante, dichiarano con arroganza, è cominciare a vivere «senza». Senza illusioni, senza palliativi, senza falsi idoli. Ma sono poi così falsi gli idoli contro cui essi si scagliano? È la domanda che percorre tutto il romanzo, senza trovare ima risposta univoca. Non ci sono verità consolatorie nell'universo di Turgenev: non quelle fideistiche che abbraccia Dostoevskij, né quelle etiche in cui si rifugia Tolstoj. Il mondo dei padri come quello dei figli è un mondo lacerato, pieno di contraddizioni insolubili, tormentate ambiguità, inquietudini sotterranee, dove ciascuno è solo con la sua pena segreta.

Goodness gracious, what a book...In the middle of it I was actually liking Bazarov's struggling with his attraction for Anna Odintsov but then I realized this is actually really... depressing. The big, rationalist nihilist suddenly finding himself stammering over his words in the presence of the woman was quite ironic. But then again, at the moment of his deathbed speech with Anna Odintsov and not only, I started hating her SO much. Choosing social comfort and emotional detachment over love even if she knew (in theory) that she was attracted to him is so cruel. Maybe they were just too alike, both emotionally unavailable.At last, the ending absolutely shattered me. I think it s actually one of the most emotional books I ve ever read(definitely gonna add this to my list of favorite books). His slow physical decay, how he considered himself pathetic while he was sick, the realization he had that his nihilistic ideas actually made his life hollow is heart wrenching. Anyway, I recommend it with all my heart, truly.
