Luoting Noble House

About This Novel

"Rodin" and "The Noble House" are the first two of Turgenev's six novels, which reflect the language characteristics and ideological tendencies of Turgenev's early novel creation. Since Pushkin created the gallery of "superfluous people" in Russian literature, "Rodin" is Turgenev's contribution to this group of characters. The protagonist of the novel, Luo Ting, was a "superfluous man" in the 1850s. He was born in a dilapidated aristocratic family, received a university education, traveled abroad, loved freedom, was eloquent, and had full ideals. However, he was a "giant in words and a dwarf in action." He failed repeatedly in real life and achieved nothing, and finally died of wound infection in poverty. The greatest success of "The Noble House" lies in its structure, and it has been rated as "one of the writer's most rigorously structured and perfect works". The novel narrates the love and marriage story of an aristocratic couple, and is a metaphor for the rise and fall of the Russian aristocracy. The author wants to show that the golden age of the aristocracy has passed, and now they have to face the gloomy reality.
