Poems in Prose

This little volume contains a translation of what are among the last things written by Turgenev. They are best defined by their title Poems in Prose; for, while their form is that of prose, the subjects, the treatment, the imaginative setting , have all the charm and quality of poetry. This is a must have for anyone who has an interest in Russian poetry and literature. Turgenev is considered one of the best Russian prose writers among Tolstoy, Gogol and Chekhov. This book was originally published c.1880 and is here being republished with a new introductory biography.
