Ivan Turgenev was a Russian writer who was born in 1818. He is best known for his short stories and novels, which include “Fathers and Sons” and “First Love.” Turgenev’s work is known for its realism and its focus on the psychological development of his characters. He was also a vocal critic of the Tsarist regime, and his work was banned in Russia for many years.
In Ivan Turgenev’s short story First Love, the young protagonist, Vladimir, falls in love with the older Zinaida. Though their relationship is ultimately unrequited, Vladimir’s first love is a formative experience that teaches him about the nature of love and loss.Though Vladimir’s love for Zinaida is not reciprocated, it is nonetheless a powerful and formative experience. Vladimir learns that love is not always requited, and that sometimes the object of one’s affections may not even be aware of their feelings. This experience is bittersweet, but ultimately it helps Vladimir to understand the nature of love and loss.
