My Neighbour Radilov

"My Neighbour Radilov" by Ivan Turgenev is a short story about a chance encounter between the narrator, a hunter, and a wealthy landowner named Radilov. After accidentally shooting a bird on Radilov's property, the narrator is invited to dinner at his house. As they walk through the neglected gardens, the narrator observes the decay of the once-grand estate. The story offers a critique of the aristocratic way of life in 19th-century Russia, as well as a reflection on the passage of time and the decline of traditional values. Radilov himself embodies the contradictions of this world, as he appears both generous and callous, proud of his status but also nostalgic for the past. Through the narrator's perspective, the reader glimpses a society in transition, where the old order is giving way to new social and economic forces. Read in English, unabridged.
