Torrents of Spring
''Torrents of Spring'', also known as ''Spring Torrents'' ((ロシア語:Вешние воды)), is a novel written by Ivan Turgenev during 1870 and 1871 when he was in his fifties. The story centers around a young Russian landowner named Dimitry Sanin who falls deliriously in love for the first time while visiting the German city of Frankfurt. It is widely held as one Turgenev's greatest novels as well as being highly autobiographical in nature.
==Background to the Work==
Turgenev likely began work on what became ''Torrents of Spring'' in 1870. Though originally planned as a short story it had expanded to novel length by the time it was finally completed in late 1871. It first saw publication in the January 1872 edition of the Vestnik Evropy (Herald of Europe), the major liberal magazine of late nineteenth century Russia.〔Turgenev, Ivan Sergeevich and Leonard Schapiro (1980). ''Spring Torrents.'' Harmondsworth, Middlesex, England: Penguin Books, 184-185.〕 Though the novel was somewhat unusual for Turgenev in that it was nearly devoid of political or social themes, it enjoyed a great success from its first appearance. The issue of the ''Vestnik Evropy'' in which it was first published had to be reprinted, an unprecedented event in the history of Russian periodicals.〔Magarshack, David (1954). ''Turgenev''. London: Faber and Faber L.T.D, 275.〕
Turgenev's most famous novel is ''Fathers and Sons'' but ''Torrents of Spring'' is significant in its revealing of the author's thoughts and intimate emotions. Indeed, though a work of fiction, ''Torrents of Spring'' is highly autobiographical, the author himself confessing that, "Tout ce roman-là est vrai. Je l’ai vécu et senti personnellement. C’est ma propre histoire (entire novel is true. I lived it and felt it personally. It is my own story. )" 〔Pavlovski, Isaac (1887). ''Souvenirs sur Tourguéneff.'' Paris: Nouvelle Librairie Parisienne, 89. http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k371378x/f89.image 〕
