Hunter's Notes (selected Translations of Classics)
by Turgenev
About This Novel
"Hunter's Notes" is a famous work by Russian critical realist writer Turgenev in the 19th century. It is a collection of essays with a unique form. "Hunter's Notes" uses a hunter's hunting as a clue to describe the beautiful scenery of Russian nature, depicting many characters such as landlords, housekeepers, mill wives, town doctors, aristocratic intellectuals, serfs, peasant children, etc. It truly shows the life style of people from all walks of life in urban and rural areas in other provinces under the background of serfdom. In a lyrical style, the work demonstrates the simple kindness of farmers' nature, the dignity of personality, and the sacred and noble themes of humanitarianism that the writer strives to elucidate. The love for the people, the praise for the spiritual power, wisdom and genius contained in the working people, and the silent indictment of the serfdom system make the work endowed with wise ideas and great artistic appeal.
