About This Novel
The main plot of the novel takes place in two months. Bazarov came to Kirsanov's territory at the end of May and died at the end of July. What happened to the protagonists before and after these two months are all interspersed and narrated in the epilogue in the form of biographies. The entire plot unfolds in three central locations: Kirsanov's territory, Ozintsova's manor, and Bazarov's home. The author narrates in the novel that after graduating from college in 1859, Kirsanov, a son of an aristocrat, took his friend Bazarov, a medical student from a civilian background, to visit his father's manor. Bazarov is a "nihilist" and does not believe in any rules and regulations. The conflict between Bazarov and Pavel became increasingly acute, and a duel took place. Bazarov was forced to leave Kirsanov Manor and return to his parents' home. At home, he unfortunately contracted sepsis while dissecting a farmer's corpse and died soon after.
