Слайд 5Fathers and Sons
Chapter 10
"You don't know my father well enough,"
Arkady was saying. "Your father is a good fellow," said Bazarov, "but his day is over; his song has been sung to extinction."
Nikolai Petrovich listened intently . . . Arkady made no reply.
The man whose day was over stood still for a minute or two, then quietly returned to the house.
"The day before yesterday I saw him reading Pushkin," Bazarov went on meanwhile. "Please explain to him how utterly useless that is. After all he's not a boy, it's high time he got rid of such rubbish. And what an idea to be romantic in our times! Give him something sensible to read."
"What should I give him?" asked Arkady.
"Oh, I think Büchner's Stoff und Kraft to start with."
"I think so too," remarked Arkady approvingly. "Stoff und Kraft is written in popular language . . ."
"So it seems," said Nikolai Petrovich the same day after dinner to his brother, as they sat in his study, "you and I are behind the times, our day is over. Well . . . perhaps Bazarov is right; but one thing, I must say, hurts me; I was so hoping just now to get on really close and friendly terms with Arkady, and it turns out that I've lagged behind while he has gone forward, and we simply can't understand one another."
"But how has he gone forward? And in what way is he so different from us?" exclaimed Pavel Petrovich impatiently. "It's that grand seigneur of a nihilist who has knocked such ideas into his head. I loathe that doctor fellow; in my opinion he's nothing but a charlatan; I'm sure that in spite of all his tadpoles he knows precious little even in medicine."
"No, brother, you mustn't say that; Bazarov is clever and knows his subject."
