Fathers and Sons, Chapter 11: riassunto

Cosa succede

1. Nikolai Petrovitch withdraws to the garden and questions what gives the younger generation an advantage over his own.
2. The evening landscape moves him toward poetry, but thoughts of Arkady interrupt his pleasure.
3. He remembers meeting Maria and longs to recover their early happiness until Thenichka’s call breaks his reverie.
4. Nikolai paces tearfully, meets Paul Petrovitch, and explains his distress before returning toward the house.
5. Bazarov proposes visiting the town with Arkady, then going to his parents rather than returning directly to Marino.
6. The two leave the next day, disappointing the younger household members and relieving the older ones.
