About this book
Six tales written between 1847 and 1881 make up this volume, in Constance Garnett's translation of 1899: Pyetushkov, The Brigadier, A Strange Story, Punin and Baburin, Old Portraits, and A Desperate Character. An introduction discusses the tales, praising the realism of the young Turgenev's Pyetushkov and the sympathy for humble, eccentric people in The Brigadier. The volume is dedicated to Joseph Conrad, whose art the dedication links with Turgenev's.
