Axia
by Turgenev
About This Novel
This book contains three of Turgenev's famous novellas "Asha", "First Love" and "Spring Water". "Axia" and "First Love" both describe the fate of aristocratic intellectuals through love tragedies. These works were created during the period when the Russian liberation movement shifted from the aristocratic period to the civilian intellectual period. Due to their own limitations, the role of the aristocratic intellectuals in social development has gradually declined. "Spring Water" is set in the German city of Frankfurt. It tells the story of the love between a Russian aristocratic young man Sanin and an Italian girl Gemma, and the story of their marriage being destroyed by a young Russian aristocratic young woman.
