First published in 1859, On the Eve is another of Turgenev's lyrical idealist works. Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev defined the philosophy of nihilism and social change and yet managed to dwell on the bittersweet romanticism of Russia's fading nobility. This is a story of Elena, a young spiritually passionate woman with intense social principles, who abandons her family, home, and country, to follow Insarov, a romantic revolutionary rebel to his native Bulgaria. A classic novel of the courage of life choices on the brink of global change.
