Conclusi gli studi universitari a San Pietroburgo, due amici partono per un viaggio attraverso diverse città e villaggi della Russia di metà Ottocento. I due amici sono molto diversi: Arkadij è pacato e composto mentre Bazarov è impetuoso e nichilista. Le idee e l'intemperanza di Bazarov trasformeranno il viaggio in un teatro di scontri ideologici e discussioni filosofiche, duelli verbali ma anche fisici, tormentate passioni amorose e momenti di maturazione e cambiamento personali. Sullo sfondo, una Russia inquieta e affascinante dove conservatorismo e i primi albori dello spirito rivoluzionario creano un'atmosfera spesso elettrizzante.A distanza di 150 anni dalla sua pubblicazione, 'Padri e figli' rimane uno dei vertici della letteratura russa, un romanzo stratificato e profondo, un fiume in piena di emozioni, analisi-storici sociali e sublimi descrizioni psicologiche.Ivan Sergeevič Turgenev (1818 – 1883) è stato uno scrittore e drammaturgo russo.

First published in 1858, ‘The Three Clerks’ by Anthony Trollope has been described as his most autobiographical. Drawing on his own experiences working as a Junior Clerk in the Post Office, we follow the lives of three Civil Servants; Henry Norman, Alaric Tudor and Charley Tudor in their personal and professional pursuits. Politics, family dramas, romance and crime all follow in this early Trollope novel.Anthony Trollope (1815 – 1882) was a Victorian writer and author of 47 novels. He also wrote an autobiography, short stories and plays, travel articles, reviews and lectures. A prolific writer, he made no secret of the fact that money was his motivation for writing – an admission which raised eyebrows among his literary contemporaries at the time. The amount of works Trollope authored are testament to his belief in hard work. His first successful novel was The Warden followed by its sequel, Barchester Towers. The Chronicles of Barsetshire are perhaps his most well-known series of novels, though many of his works have been adapted for TV and radio, starring many familiar faces such as Alan Rickman, David Tennant, Bill Nighy and Tom Hollander. Alongside his literary career, Trollope also worked for some time for the Post Office and is credited with the introduction of the iconic post box to Britain. A memorial to Anthony Trollope was unveiled in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey in 1993.
