About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Rudin by Ivan Turgenev. (Translated by Constance Garnett.) Read in English by Lee Smalley Rudin is the first and perhaps least known novel by Ivan Turgenev, a famous Russian writer best known for his short stories and the novel Fathers and Sons. The story focuses on a romantic involvement between Rudin and Natalya, a serious, intelligent young woman. The topic of the “superfluous man” and his inability to act, which was a major theme of Turgenev's literary work, is explored. –Adapted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudin by Lee Smalley
