I read it after Wang Yuan recommended it. After reading it, I found this book to be really good.
The books recommended by Brother Yuan are must-reads
Well, I admit that I only read this book because Yuanyuan recommended it, but later on, I seemed to like it more and more.

In Russian literature, the most difficult thing is the names of places and people. Putting these aside, we must also look at the author's era. This book is Turgenev's famous work. He himself has always been critical of serfdom, and I guess this is a strongly condemning book. I had such a prejudice at first, but when I read, I found that the author himself did not show any emotional tendencies. He just described a series of small people he observed from an outsider's perspective. Through the language, behavior, and appearance of these small people under the serfdom system, people can deeply feel the sadness of these oppressed people. Whether they are born into slavery or "acquired" into slavery, they are all poor people oppressed by society. Even those who were able to escape from serfdom gave up their freedom for fear of jumping into another oppressive system. They had nowhere to escape.
If it wasn't summer homework, I wouldn't read it (?2?1_?2?1)
I saw a lot of fans. Because of a person, falling in love with a book.
Recommended by Brother Yuan, definitely read it
I read the book recommended by Wang Yuan and it is very good.
The book recommended by my brother is a must-read
I am a freshman in junior high school, and this book is one of the four books recommended by the teacher. Does anyone in the third grade of junior high school have any suggestions?
