About this ebook

These Turgenev-Dostoevsky letters reveal not only the personal relationship between the two authors, but also provide insights into their philosophical disagreements, the common themes in their works, personal financial entanglements and their perspectives on the socio-political issues of their time. The dialogues and criticisms between Turgenev and Dostoevsky were historically well known, encompassing both professional admiration and intense ideological conflict.

This critical reader's edition presents a modern translation of the original manuscript, crafted to help the reader engage directly with Turgenev's works through clean, contemporary language and simplified sentence structures that clarify his complex ideas. Supplementary material enriches the text with autobiographical, historical, and linguistic context, including an afterword on Turgenev’s history, impact, and intellectual legacy highlighting the personal relationships that shaped his philosophy (focusing on Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Gogol), an index of the philosophical concepts he employs (emphasizing Realism and Nihilism) a comprehensive chronological list of his published writings, a brief biography, and a detailed timeline of his life.
