About the book

Ivan Turgenev's The Torrents of Spring is a poignant novella about love, memory and regret. The story is narrated by Dmitri Sanin, who looks back on an episode from his youth when, while travelling in Germany, he falls in love with the beautiful Gemma Roselli. Their relationship seems destined for happiness, but Sanin's encounter with another woman alters the course of his life. Turgenev sensitively explores youthful passion, weakness and the painful awareness of opportunities lost, creating a deeply moving reflection on the decisions that shape a lifetime.
