by Ivan Turgenev
First Love is a novella written by Ivan Turgenev and published in 1860.
The book tells us about the love experience of Vladimir Petrovich. Vladimir is a young teenager from Moscow who falls in love with a new neighbor of his summer residence: Princess Zinaída Aleksándrovna.
The central theme of the work raises the debate between rational and sentimental thoughts. In the book, the characters who are carried away by feelings have a bad ending, so it is not a story with a happy ending.
Turgenev poses as a framework for the story a meeting of friends among whom one, the protagonist Vladimir, will recount his sentimental experience. In this way we will have a first level of narration that will serve to introduce us through a retrospect in the history of the protagonist.
As for the place, the action takes place in a country house. This fact is recurrent in Turgenev's books, since it serves as a way of representing life in his daily life.
This edition of the book is based on the text published on Project Gutenberg and the translator is Constance Garnett.

The best First Love quotes
Take for yourself what you can, and don’t be ruled by others; to belong to oneself—the whole savour of life lies in that
I did not want to know whether I was loved, and I did not want to acknowledge to myself that I was not loved.
There is a sweetness in being the sole source, the autocratic and irresponsible cause of the greatest joy and profoundest pain to another.
