Noi siamo così un cerchio incompiuto, imperfetto, un arco, in cui inizio e fine non coincidono. Solitari restare a riva a osservare le tempeste della vita o salire a bordo senza troppo curarci dei compagni di viaggio? Seguire le leggi del cosmo o le leggi dell'io? Scegliere la politica o l'antipolitica? Il negotium o l'otium? Credere o capire di fronte a Dio e alla morte? Seguire la lezione dei padri o la rivoluzione dei figli?

Turgenev wrote Fathers and Sons as a response to the growing cultural schism between liberals of the 1830s-1840s and the growing nihilist movement. Both the nihilists (the "sons") and the 1830s liberals (the "fathers") sought Western-based social change in Russia. These two modes of thought were contrasted with the Slavophiles, who believed that Russia's path lay in its traditional spirituality. Fathers and Sons, which might be considered as the first really modern novel in Russian literature, enraged everyone when it was published.
