RUDIN (1856) by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818-1883) tells the story of a character typical to Turgenev -- a 'superfluous' man, weak of will, brimming with indecisive frustration -- and yet tormented by ideals. Rudin is made impotent by the dissonance of honoring the older generations while at the same time embracing the new bold epoch of pre-revolutionary Russia.

Rudin is made impotent by the dissonance of honoring the older generations while at the same time embracing the new bold epoch of pre-revolutionary Russia. The theme of melancholic powerless men coupled with vital idealistic women is prevalent in Turgenev's work, and it would be hard to find a clearer study of the type than RUDIN.

Whether to act. How to act, given that there is wide agreement on the necessity of action and a frustrating lack of scope for it, in intelligentsia circles of Turgenev’s day. They lived under the tsar but read French utopian socialists. The nobility had an old ethic of service to the state but their once-steep service obligations had been curtailed, and they were left with the ethic – and no outlet. So the history books tell me. Also in Russia, there were no dedicated philosophers as in Germany or France, but literary circles took up this task – to respond to philosophy and social questions; so that everybody was a dilettante; so that novelists and literary critics were the ones to conduct the discussions of the day, social-political-philosophical.

You end up with novels like Turgenev’s. Not novels of ideas, but engaged as get-out, about engaged people, about the question of engagement.
