Turgenev's letters from Carlsbad

Vol.12,No.1(2009)

Abstract
Turgenev's letters from Carlsbad written in 1873-74 show the writer's health state, his relationship to his dauther and brother and his close friendship with E. Zola whom he helped to publish in Russia. Interesting is his correspondence with several translators and with the American publisher Henry James and his father. Their invitation for an American trip was unreal for him at that time. The Carlsbad spa seemed to him boring but useful from the medical point of view.
