    • V realistickom románe je hlavným hrdinom študent - nihilista Bazarov. So svojím mladším priateľom Arkadijom se vydáva na cestu k rodičom.V románe nie sú proti sebe postavené dve pokolenia, ako by sa z názvu dalo usudzovať, ale ľudia dvoch spoločenských skupín, ľudia rozličného svetonázoru, medzi ktorými nemôže dôjsť ku kompromisu. Dielo je verným obrazom doby, v ktorej autor žil.

      Fathers and Sons is one of the greatest nineteenth century Russian novels, and has long been acclaimed as Turgenev's finest work. It is a political novel set in a domestic context, with a universal theme, the generational divide between fathers and sons. Set in 1859 at the moment when the Russian autocratic state began to move hesitantly towards social and political reform, the novel explores the conflict between the liberal-minded fathers of Russian reformist sympathies and their free-thinking intellectual sons whose revolutionary ideology threatened the stability of the state.
