First Love And Other Stories

🔖 This volume contains two of the world's great love stories - First Love, and Spring Torrents, which show Turgenev at his very best. Simple, direct and tender, they record the pains and glories of youthful infatuation in a style which evokes exactly and in detail what it is like to be young and in love. In addition, there is a third, much shorter story, A Fire at Sea, translated by Isaiah Berlin, and an introduction to the whole volume by V. S. Pritchett.
