Portrait of Ivan Turgenev by Eugène Lami, c. 1843–1844
Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (/tʊərˈɡɛnjɛf,-ˈɡeɪn-/toor-GHEN-yef, -GAYN-;[1] Russian: Иван Сергеевич Тургенев[note 1], IPA:[ɪˈvansʲɪrˈɡʲe(j)ɪvʲɪtɕtʊrˈɡʲenʲɪf]; 9 November [O.S. 28 October] 1818 – 3 September [O.S. 22 August] 1883) was a Russian novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, translator and popularizer of Russian literature in the West.
His first major publication, a short story collection titled A Sportsman's Sketches (1852), was a milestone of Russian realism. His novel Fathers and Sons (1862) is regarded as one of the major works of 19th-century fiction.
