Reader comments
From the perspective of a hunter, 25 short stories describe the dire daily life of skinny, ragged, simple and loyal serfs under the oppression of greedy, cunning and violent landlords. This is a book that describes oppressed serfs, but it is not limited to serfs, but also their poor living environment, and the real conditions of big and small people with different statuses. It is like a mirror that reflects the pain and struggle of the lower-class serfs in Russia in the 19th century.
The words describing the natural scenery in the book are very beautiful, but what I feel from the beautiful natural scenery described by the author is only the prosperity of nature, without the vitality of people, it is a lonely scene and a ruthless society.
This book is great! Turgenev painted the life in the Russian countryside so vividly, it was like I was walking through the woods with the hunters. The characters in the story are vivid, the plot is real and interesting, and Feng Zikai's translation is also exquisite, which made me completely immersed in the world of the book. Highly recommended!
