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.

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...
