O ovoj audio knjizi

"My Neighbour Radilov" by Ivan Turgenev is a short story about a chance encounter between the narrator, a hunter, and a wealthy landowner named Radilov. After accidentally shooting a bird on Radilov's property, the narrator is invited to dinner at his house. As they walk through the neglected gardens, the narrator observes the decay of the once-grand estate. The story offers a critique of the aristocratic way of life in 19th-century Russia, as well as a reflection on the passage of time and the decline of traditional values. Radilov himself embodies the contradictions of this world, as he appears both generous and callous, proud of his status but also nostalgic for the past. Through the narrator's perspective, the reader glimpses a society in transition, where the old order is giving way to new social and economic forces. Read in English, unabridged.

O autoru

Ivan Turgenev, 1818 - 1883 Novelist, poet and playwright, Ivan Turgenev, was born to a wealthy family in Oryol in the Ukraine region of Russia. He attended St. Petersburg University (1834-37) and Berlin University (1838-41), completing his master's exam at St. Petersburg. His career at the Russian Civil Service began in 1841. He worded for the Ministry of Interior from 1843-1845. In the 1840's, Turgenev began writing poetry, criticism, and short stories under Nikolay Gogol's influence. "A Sportsman's Sketches" (1852) were short pieces written from the point of view of a nobleman who learns to appreciate the wisdom of the peasants who live on his family's estate. This brought him a month of detention and eighteen months of house arrest. From 1853-62, he wrote stories and novellas, which include the titles "Rudin" (1856), "Dvorianskoe Gnedo" (1859), "Nakanune" (1860) and "Ottsy I Deti" (1862). Turgenev left Russia, in 1856, because of the hostile reaction to his work titled "Fathers and Sons" (1862). Turgenev finally settled in Paris. He became a corresponding member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in 1860 and Doctor of Civil Law at Oxford University in 1879. His last published work, "Poems in Prose," was a collection of meditations and anecdotes. On September 3, 1883, Turgenev died in Bougival, near Paris.
