Spring Torrents
Spring Torrents is a Russian novella by Ivan Turgenev, published in 1872. The plot is centered around Dimitry Sanin, a young man who descends into an obsessive, and deceptive romantic relationship.
“First love is like a revolution; the uniformly regular routine of ordered life is broken down and shattered in one instant; youth mounts the barricade, waves high its bright flag, and whatever awaits it in the future - death or a new life - all alike it goes to meet with ecstatic welcome.”
