Talk:Fathers and Sons (novel)

message: I don't see a reason for the information box to have an entry for Translator - as if there is only one.  I happen to have a copy of the novel as translated by Richard Hare, not Rosemary Edmonds.  I am deleting the line.  If there is something important to say about various translations, add a section to the article. Fikus 19:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

message: In the "Context" section of this article is found the following claim:
:This prominent theme of character duality and deep psychological insight would exert an influence on most of the great Russian novels to come, most obviously echoed in the novels of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky.
Is this really accurate? Although I can't speak much for Tolstoy (being less familiar with him and his works), I think it's fair to say that Dostoevsky's mature style had been fully developed by the time Turgenev's novel was published: Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment -- which is perhaps the epitome of the Dostoevskian -- was published only four years later. I don't think this timeline really allows for much influence of the former on the latter. (More so, perhaps, if we also consider that Dostoevsky hated Turgenev, although this doesn't necessarily, on its own, mean that he couldn't be influenced by his style.) It might be more accurate to say that the two authors merely explored similar themes, or took similar approaches in their writing. --Todeswalzer|Talk 12:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: How can an article on a novel be as high as "B-Class" when it doesn't even have a plot summary? john k (talk) 00:13, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  B-Class, really? 

message: For some reason the translated version of this novel by Karel van het Reve holds many asterisks (***). For example: it says "the city ***" or "*** street". Does anyone know why? 81.68.255.36 (talk) 11:27, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Addition of ISBN from Wikidata 

message: I think there should probably be a short explanation on why there are two different English titles for this book. (Children is a direct translation; I have seen it claimed that sons comes from the first German translation, but I don't have a citable source for that assertion.)
