About this book

Fourteen short pieces make up this first volume of Turgenev's sketches, told by a sportsman travelling the Russian countryside in search of game. The first piece compares the peasants and villages of the provinces of Orel and Kaluga, and sketches Polutikin, a small landowner of Kaluga who is devoted to shooting.

Constance Garnett made the English translation. Turgenev wrote the sketches in the late 1840s and early 1850s, and they were gathered as a book in 1852.

Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev

Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883) was a Russian novelist and playwright, the first of his countrymen to win a wide European readership. A friend of Flaubert and Henry James, he wrote with a spare lyricism, and his Fathers and Sons remains a landmark of the nineteenth-century novel.
