Erste Liebe

Ivan Turgenev

3.68 AVERAGE


A love story set in the 1800s of the burden of first love. It was well written with great characters developed well for a short story. I want to re-read this because I think I need to be more focused with this novel but it was really well written.

I haven't got around to review this yesterday so I'll do it now.

First Love is well, exactly what it says on the tin. A young boy of 16 falling in love with a giggly coquettish, and somewhat quaint, young princess who got a taste for playing (both ways) with the bachelors who were as madly in love with her. In todays world they would say that the princess got a herd of simps behind her, despite not being that good of a person and likes to toy around with those men.

The boy spoke of her fervently and poetically, just like a young boy drunken in love would, the writing is beautiful, I wish someone would speak about me like that.
medium-paced
