charity_royall_331 's review for:
Fathers and Sons
by Ivan Turgenev
This made me think about the famous Jackie Robinson quote about a life not being important except in the impact it has on other lives. I found Bazarov pretentious and irritating, yet his charisma is undeniable and his influence profound. The arc of the story is poignant, and I loved the storytelling style -- especially the history of each character as he is introduced. At first I wondered if the translation was at fault for the formality of the narration, but it grew on me.
