The "Dym" of Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev is an acute socio-political and romantic novel, which in its time caused violent disputes and became an uncompromising view of the author on the fate of the Russian intelligence and the foreign society. The action takes place at the German resort Baden-Baden, where the color of the Russian aristocracy, radical youth and opposition is gathered. The main character, the young caregiver Grigory Litvinov, is preparing for a quiet family life with his bride Tatiana. However, all his plans break down when he accidentally encounters his first love - the rock'n'roll beauty Irina, now belonging to the upper world. The explosive passion with a new force draws Litvinov into a sad love triangle, and around it are boiling endless but infertile disputes about the fate of Russia. In the end, the hero realizes that both great-world conversations, and political teachings, and the mad love fever - all this is just a dispersing "dym." Turgenev, with a miserable satire, thin psychologism and elegant sadness, preparates the illusions of his generation, creating a deep drama about the lost hopes and the search for true truth. Fans of the classical Russian prose of the nineteenth century, lovers of complex love dramas and socio-philosophical novels, as well as everyone who appreciates the sharp mind and the elegant slug of Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev.
