A very comfy read. Vasily Ivanych is damn near a carbon copy of my own father, in Bazarov I could see my younger more angsty self, and in Arkady myself in the beginnings of maturity. The characters are so elaborate, no backstory is spared, and I see the various characters themselves as almost mirrors of the different stages of maturity in the lives of men.

"...you’re still young--your whole life’s ahead of you. What’re you preparing yourself for? What sort of future awaits you? I mean to say--what goal do you hope to achieve, where are you headed, what do you have in mind? In short, who are you and what are you?"

Well anon?
