Especially thanks to his masterfully crafted novellas, the Russian poet Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883) is considered one of the greatest and most influential novelists in world literature. In a uniquely simple, almost sober style, yet incredibly impactful, he tells with depth and an eye for the extraordinary about love and the concerns of everyday life. This volume brings together the stories "Three Encounters," "Visions," "The Dog," "The Song of Triumphant Love," and "A Dream.".
