ovidusnaso's review against another edition
3.0
Finalement fini! Paroles hors de l'ordinaire quand on parle d'un oeuvre qu'on a aimé. Et j'ai bien aimé, mais le lenteur de "Premieur Amour" m'a vraiment ralenti dans la lecture. "L'auberge de grand chemin" et "L'antchar" m'ont beaucoup plus en comparaison, et même prises à ses propres termes. Bonnes nouvelles claires, mais rien d'étonnant.

Sad and deep and so very Russian.
First Love is excellent.

A complete tour-de-force of masterful writing. I am amazed that anyone could pack such a punch in short fiction but Ivan Turgenev does it again and again in this collection.

I love Turgenev's style so much. I had a little trouble with names. A character would be introduced, talked about for 30 pages as such, then suddenly he would just start calling them by a different name with no explanation whatsoever. What the what?
