Smoke (turgenev's Novel)

About This Novel

In 1867, Turgenev published the novel "Smoke". This work has a broad social background. The novel takes the Russian serfdom reform in 1861 as the background, and the whole novel revolves around the central issue of how to treat serfdom and the way out for Russia's reform. In fact, because this top-down reform was extremely deceptive, farmers lost their land as a result of the reform and were actually still dependent on their landlords. The struggle between various social groups has become more intense and clear. As a realist writer with a keen observation of society, Turgenev felt that "there is malaise everywhere, the inaccessible 'mud' and poverty are a sad sight." He cared about the motherland, but could not find the right way out, and he had a strong pessimism. His thoughts were full of depression and contradictions. When he read Schopenhauer's works, he once had the idea of ​​​​escaping into the ivory tower. In the novel "Smoke", the author uses the failure of the protagonist's personal life to express his personal ideological crisis.
