Name: Fathers and Sons
Author: Ivan Turgenev

Published in 1862, Fathers and Sons explores generational conflict through the story of Arkady Kirsanov and his friend, Yevgeny Bazarov.

The novel contrasts the older generation's attachment to noble traditions with the younger generation’s radical, dismissive attitude.
