Summary "Lettres à Madame Viardot" by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a collection of correspondence written in the mid-19th century. The letters chronicle the relationship between Turgenev and the renowned singer Pauline Viardot, capturing their artistic camaraderie and personal friendship. This compilation not only serves as a personal record but also provides insights into the cultural and artistic landscape of the period. The opening of the work presents an intriguing context for these letters, depicting how Turgenev's correspondence with Viardot commenced and evolved. It discusses the history of the letters, which were lost during the turmoil of the Franco-Prussian War and rediscovered many years later, highlighting the deep bond shared between the two artists. Turgenev expresses his excitement at Viardot's successes and offers personal reflections on literature and music, while also revealing glimpses into his solitary life as a writer. The opening thus sets a tone of warmth, intellectual engagement, and deep respect that will likely permeate their ongoing correspondence throughout the collection.
