About this audiobook

"My Neighbour Radilov" by Ivan Turgenev is a short story about a chance encounter between the narrator, a hunter, and a wealthy landowner named Radilov. After accidentally shooting a bird on Radilov's property, the narrator is invited to dinner at his house. As they walk through the neglected gardens, the narrator observes the decay of the once-grand estate. The story offers a critique of the aristocratic way of life in 19th-century Russia, as well as a reflection on the passage of time and the decline of traditional values. Radilov himself embodies the contradictions of this world, as he appears both generous and callous, proud of his status but also nostalgic for the past. Through the narrator's perspective, the reader glimpses a society in transition, where the old order is giving way to new social and economic forces. Read in English, unabridged.

Ivan Turgenev

Ivan Turgenev was a Russian writer whose work is exemplary of Russian Realism. A student of Hegel, Turgenev’s political views and writing were heavily influenced by the Age of Enlightenment. Among his most recognized works are the classic Fathers and Sons, A Sportsman’s Sketches, and A Month in the Country. Turgenev is today recognized for his artistic purity, which influenced writers such as Henry James and Joseph Conrad. Turgenev died in 1883, and is credited with returning Leo Tolstoy to writing as the result of his death-bed plea.
