Part II of Great 19th-Century Russian Writers Talk w/ Dr. Lee Farrow
November 2, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Dr. Lee Farrow returns to The NewSouth Bookstore for a second talk in a series about the great 19th-century Russian writers. She will continue discussing the theme of the “superfluous man” in Russian literature, focusing on the works of Mikhail Lermontov, Ivan Turgenev, and Ivan Goncharov. These three authors portrayed the ideological and generational conflicts that were challenging Russian educated society, fixing a critical eye on the hypocrisies and ineffectiveness of both the intellectuals of the “old guard” and the younger generation that would replace them.” As many of you have already discovered, Farrow is a lively and knowledgeable presenter. You won’t want to miss her program!
