A Sportsman's Sketches by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev
QR code
"A Sportsman's Sketches" by Ivan Turgenev is a cycle of short stories published in 1852. Through the eyes of a hunter wandering the Russian countryside, these interconnected tales reveal the lives of peasants and landowners he encounters. The narrator observes with quiet detachment as he discovers the intelligence of serfs, the cruelties of their masters, and the injustices of the system binding them. Based on Turgenev's own observations at his mother's estate,
these sketches capture both natural beauty and social darkness in rural Russia. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
