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.
这是一本现在的我正当其时读的书。 中学时代语文书上屠格涅夫的简介,第一个就是猎人笔记。幸好那时没读,幸好大学时也没读。说是小说集,感觉更像散文集,文字舒缓,大量的笔墨在写景,很久很久才能看到情节。作者对脚下的土地,爱得深沉厚重。这种厚重,那时的我,是无法读懂...
评分我今天推荐给大家的是长江文艺出版社出版的由田国彬翻译的俄国著名作家屠格涅夫所著的《猎人笔记》一书,这是一部极具魅力特色的世界名著。 我喜欢屠格涅夫,喜欢他的干净与清澈,善良与高远。屠格涅夫作为沙皇俄国的贵族阶层,突破阶级局限,站在历史大变革时期,悲天悯人,为...
评分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,...
评分这本是我很年轻时就该读过的书。现在才阅读此书的意义,于我大概只是像安徒生童话里的那只鼹鼠,透过泥壁上偶尔出现的孔洞,窥一眼外面麦田的颜色,听见风从遥远的地方吹来,发出哗哗的声音,大概是摇动了树梢,回忆起来那些是多么久远的声与色啊。然后,或许会缩进地洞的更深...
