Ivan Turgenev 
Smoke (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

Published in 1867, Smoke contributed to Turgenev’s ongoing argument with the Slavophiles and was to trigger his heated political quarrel with Dostoyevsky about the deplorable state of Mother Russia.  Part love story, part political commentary, the novel tells of Litvinov, a quiet, ordinary young man, who travels to study European technology and scientific farming.
