On the Eve On the Eve

Publisher Description

The "eve" in question is the start of the Crimean war. The setting, however, is provincial Russia (as usual in Turgenev's work) and the characters are a small circle of close friends. Yelena is a serious girl who needs an ethical and active life, and finds a freedom fight to throw herself into -- Bulgaria from the Turks. Insarov, Yelena's Bulgarian hero, is astutely mocked by other participants.
