The novel's central characters, Yevgeny Bazarov and his disciple and fellow student, Arkady Kirsanov, are self-proclaimed nihilists: repudiators of all received truths of art, religion, and politics; all truth claims, in fact, except those verifiable by scientific experiments.

When Fathers and Sons was published in 1862, it engulfed its author in a storm of controversy. Those on the political right saw it as a dangerous glorification of nihilism, while those on the political left believed it was a vicious caricature of younger generation progressives. Today, the novel continues to draw us in with its vital characters and subtle handling of universal themes.
