The Night Before the Noble House (zhiliang Anthology)
About This Novel
Turgenev's full name is Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev. He was born in 1818 and died in 1883. He graduated from the Department of Philosophy and Chinese at the University of Petersburg in Russia, and studied philosophy, history, Greek and Latin at the University of Berlin in Germany. He belonged to the liberal faction during the fierce political and ideological struggles and conflicts in Russia in the mid-19th century. He opposed the serfdom system, but did not agree with the views of Chernyshevsky and other Russian revolutionary democrats at the time. He pinned his hope on top-down reforms. However, due to his deep sympathy for the vast number of serfs and lower-class working people, as well as his literary talent, his works truly and profoundly reflected the reality of Russian society at that time, and were widely recognized and loved. Even the tsarist government and those who advocated violent revolution had to admit that he was a great writer, appreciate his beautiful writing, and appreciate his humanitarian spirit.
