On The Eve

Faced with the tantalising choice of the most nearly perfect of Turgenev's novels, few readers would hesitate to give pride of place to On The Eve. In this tender yet tragic story of the fate of a young revolutionary, Turgenev succeeded in reconciling the conflicting impulses of love and duty.
