Returning to Russia from a tour in Italy, twenty-three-year-old Dimitry Sanin
breaks his journey in Frankfurt. There he encounters the beautiful Gemma
Roselli, who works in her parents' patisserie, and falls deeply and deliriously
in love for the first time. Convinced that nothing can come in the way of
everlasting happiness with his fiancée, Dimitry impetuously decides to begin a
new life and sell his Russian estates. But when he meets the potential buyer,
the intriguing Madame Polozov, his youthful vulnerability makes him prey for a
darker, destructive infatuation. A novel of haunting beauty, Spring Torrents
(1870-1) is a fascinating, partly autobiographical account of one of Turgenev's
favourite themes - a man's inability to love without losing his innocence and
becoming enslaved to obsessive passions.
