When the down-at-heel Princess Zasyekin moves next door to the country estate of Vladimir Petrovich's parents, he instantly and overwhelmingly falls in love with his new neighbour's daughter, Zinaida. But the capricious young woman already has many admirers and as she plays her suitors against each other, Vladimir's unrequited youthful passion soon turns to torment and despair - although he remains unaware of his true rival for Zinaida's affections. Set in the world of nineteenth-century Russia's fading aristocracy, Turgenev's story depicts a boy's growth of knowledge and mastery over his own heart as he awakens to the complex nature of adult love.

Quebrei minha cara

minha primeira impressão tanto da capa quanto do nome ( sim, eu julgo pela capa) foi que seria um romance leve, de adolescente, mas ela começa a brincar com os sentimentos do pobi do Vladimir e o pior não foi só isso, mas sim ela começa a se envolver com o PAI DELE !! Nunca na minha vida que eu tava esperando isso
