Introduction by Ivan Turgenev; Translation by charles and Natasha Hepburn
Ivan Turgenev’s first literary masterpiece is a sweeping portrayal of the magnificent nineteenth–century Russian countryside and the harsh lives of those who inhabited it. In a series of sketches, a hunter wanders through the vast landscape of steppe and forest in search of game, encountering a varied cast of peasants, landlords, bailiffs, overseers, horse traders, and merchants. He witnesses both feudal tyranny and the fatalistic submission of the tyrannized, against a backdrop of the sublime and pitiless terrain of rural Russia.
These beautifully embellished, evocative stories were not only universally popular with the reading public but, through the influence they exerted on important members of the Tsarist bureaucracy, contributed to the major political event of mid–nineteenth–century Russia, the Great Emancipation of the serfs in 1861. Rarely has a book that offers such undiluted literary pleasure also been so strong a force for significant social change.

很久以来,我就一直认为俄罗斯民族是世界上最伟大的民族之一。这不仅不是理由,反而是一个民族的悲哀…… 但是,在我们的任何的一点意识中俄罗斯民族无疑都是伟大的。从很多方面来说俄罗斯人都是世界上最有韧性的民族。因此,无论是伟大的法兰西皇帝拿破仑,还是天才的第三帝...
炎热的夏使睡眠都成了奢侈,我已经开始怀念冬天,哪怕是闭门缩手缩脚的读书。我想逃到山里去,裹着棉被睡个安稳的懒觉,然后到林子里让冷雾或是泉水拍湿脑门,再尽情地呼吸个够。却被无情的工作困住,只能恍恍夜不成寐在书里寻些清凉。 草原和森林都铺展开了,马车也已经套好,...
