tovarisch (a native Russian speaker?) with his slightly accented English make listening to this book an absolutely wonderful experience.


(4 stars)

from a modern viewpoint its hard to understand the ridiculous social conventions and snobbery of the era portrayed. Turgenev creates a great portrait of these people and their lives. great reader too
