Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Ivan Turgenieff: The Diary of a Superfluous Man and Other Stories; Fathers and Children
My mother, on the contrary, always treated me in one way, affectionately, but coldly. Such mothers, moral and just, are frequently to be met with in children's books. She loved me, but I did not love her. Yes! I shunned my virtuous mother, and passionately loved my vicious father.
But enough for to-day. I have made a begin ning, and there is no cause for me to feel anxious about the end, whatever it may be. My malady will attend to that.
