Torrents of Spring, also known as Spring Torrents (Russian: Вешние воды Veshniye vody), is an 1872 novella[2] by Ivan Turgenev. It is highly autobiographical in nature, and centers on a young Russian landowner, Dimitry Sanin, who falls deliriously in love for the first time while visiting the German city of Frankfurt. Written during 1870 and 1871, when Turgenev was in his fifties, the novel is widely held as one of his greatest.
