About the book

Ivan Turgenev's On the Eve follows Elena Stakhova, an intelligent young Russian woman who becomes dissatisfied with the limited world around her. She falls in love with Dmitri Insarov, a Bulgarian revolutionary committed to freeing his homeland from Ottoman rule. Their relationship connects personal passion with political idealism and reflects Turgenev's interest in a younger generation seeking purposeful action.
