Returning home after years away at university, Arkady is proud to introduce his clever friend Bazarov to his father and uncle, but his guest soon stirs up unrest on the quiet country estate with his outspoken nihilist views and his scathing criticisms which exposes the growing distance between Arkady and his father . . .
A beautifully-drawn and highly influential portrayal of the clash between generations, at a time just before the end of serfdom, when the refined yet vanishing landowning class was being overturned by a brash new breed that strove to change the world, Fathers and Sons explores the ageless conflict between generations throughout this famous period in Russian history when a new generation of revolutionary intellectuals threatened the state.
