About this listen

When young Russian aristocrat Dimitri Sanin, on his way home from Italy, enters a patisserie in Frankfurt, he little dreams it will alter the course of his entire life. Faced with Gemma, the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, he is blown away by the spring torrents of love. But fate has a challenge in store for Sanin, one he must successfully overcome or else he will lose his chance of future happiness.

This tale of struggle against the force of natural passion speaks to the hearts of all who have experienced the fragile beauty of first love and the dark power of desire.

Apparently based on his own hopeless infatuation, this novel of young lovers is turned on its head by the sudden and unexpected rush of desire that overtakes Sanin (Turgenev), leading him to a position of slave to his compelling mistress. The final chapters of the novel are really unlike anything else I’ve read in terms of capturing the hopeless compunction of desire, leading you to destroy your life and those you love.

Groundbreaking portrayal of Sadomasochistic desire trumping innocent love

An enjoyable and vivid story. I found this one to be very well read and engaging. Those passions take various characters in unplanned directions, whether wonderful or tragic.

Excellent portrait of those torrents of passion
