Edited sentence: Although easy comparisons can be made between this story and 'Asya' and 'Spring Torrents' (other less favoured works of the same author along similar plot lines) this short novel, or novella, is set apart from Turgenev's other work due to the somewhat intelligent, measured, but nevertheless unusual plot developments towards the end of the story.First Love was written in 1860.It is one of Ivan Turgenev's best loved stories, whose youthful protagonist, Voldemar, experiences his first love, predictably enough.Views of the meaning and representational value of the work differ but common critical opinion remains in agreement that the story is certainly one of Turgenev's best, if not the best.Voldemar, a 16 year old, is staying in the country with his family and meets Zinaida, a beautiful young woman, staying with her family in the wing of the nearby manor house
