Are they primarily social chronicles, as Turgenev suggested, or are they rather to be seen as celebrations of life, of the beauty of love and youthful idealism? Are they paens to the nobility of the human spirit or ironic comments on human folly? The same questions are addressed in the present study, but the question with which it is principally concerned is that of the novels' essential character.Literature & literary studiesbicsscaltruismConflictegoistic willIvanMajorMetaphysicalnatural lawNovelsphilosophy and literatureSchopenauerStudyTurgenevWoodwardLiterature & literary studiesWoodward James Baut741728PH02PH02BOOK9910563067603321Metaphysical Conflict.
