Turgenev poured into his writings not only a deep concern for the future of his native land but also an integrity of craft that has ensured his place in Russian literature. The many years that he spent in western Europe were due in part to his personal and artistic stand as a liberal between the reactionary tsarist rule and the spirit of revolutionary radicalism that held sway in contemporary artistic and intellectual circles in Russia.
Turgenev's artistic purity made him one of the favorites of novelists of the same generation, such as Henry James and Joseph Conrad, who preferred Turgenev to Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. James, who wrote no less than five critical essays on the work of the Russian writer, said that "his merit of form is of the first order" and praised his "exquisite delicacy" that "makes many of his rivals seem to stop us, in comparison, by violent means, and to present us by comparison vulgar things. " Vladimir Nabokov, famous for his casual departure from many of the great writers, praised Turgenev's "fluid musical prose," but criticized his "epilogues" and "the trivial treatment of entanglements."

The Turgenevs were wealthy landowners, and when Ivan's father died his domineering and abusive mother oversaw the running of the farms and their serfs. After attending University of St. Petersburg, Turgenev moved to Germany and entered University of Berlin. There he concentrated on studies of history and the philosophy chiefly of Georg W. F. Hegel (1770-1831). After a time working as a civil servant he met French singer Pauline Viardot with whom he had a lifelong affair. He set up residence in France and it was there that he began writing in earnest. Travelling often between Europe and Russia, Turgenev was arrested and imprisoned for suspicious revolutionary activities.Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev died in exile in Paris on 4 September 1883. As a last wish his remains were taken home and buried in the Volkoff Cemetery, St. Petersburg, Russia.
