Fathers and children/son (I see this changes depending on the translation??) is about the generation difference between ....father and child!
There's also a bit of talk about nihilism Vs Anglophilia???
It's pretty slow going and I did find it a bit boring here and there... Whoops but i was interested in where it was going. I'm still trying to get used to the naming system where some characters would for example call Bazarov..Bazarov, but then I hear him called Yevgeny Vasilyevich...which Bazarov instead says Vasilyev instead of... Vasilyevich.... I think in English first+last name he's Yevgeny Bazarov? And Vasilyevich is his.. patronymic which is kind of like a English middle name?
So through the story I get confused a bit with who's who.
But the story kinda shows an insight between the old generational views Vs new... Or in my case the old and the older and this was like...nearly 200 years ago which automatically makes it difficult for me to properly analyse with the added bonus of now really known much about what was going on in Russia back in 1850.
But it was a fun insight!
