About this book
A Sportsman's Sketches by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is divided into titled pieces, among them Hor and Kalinitch, Raspberry Spring and The District Doctor. One piece says that anyone who has chanced to pass from the Bolhovsky district into the Zhizdrinsky district must have been impressed by the striking difference between the people of the province of Orel and the population of the province of Kaluga. Kalinitch comes into the cottage with a bunch of wild strawberries gathered for his friend Hor, and the narrator says he had not expected such a delicate attention on the part of a peasant.
A speaker tells of Avdushka, who had just begun to say 'suppose the domovoy were to come', of some one suddenly walking over their heads, and of a wheel that rattled and rattled and again began to turn. The text includes a man who murmurs as though involuntarily accompanying the blows, and a remark that they are punishing a scamp of a fellow.
