Vice Chairman of the International Literary Congress, Turgenev's most influential and famous work among the "Three Giants of Russian Literature". "Hunter's Notes" takes an aristocratic hunter's hunting trip through the countryside as a clue, depicts the beautiful Russian scenery and rural customs, and depicts many characters such as landlords, housekeepers, mill wives, town doctors, aristocratic intellectuals, serfs, farm children, etc. In the eyes of the hunter, there are beautiful Russian countryside scenery, hospitable farmers drinking kvass, a huge and amazing horse market, a beautiful country girl betrayed by her lover, a lover who is in love but destined to be separated forever, and a timid farmer with the sound of nature. , An upright and even stubborn landowner, a college student who struggled to pursue his ideals and eventually died of a serious illness; of course, the most important thing is to wait until dusk when the forest disappears, take the prey with him, have a glass of kvass, and look forward to a new hunting trip in the countryside tomorrow. And all this in the hunter's eyes constitutes the Russia he loves.

"First Love" is a famous novel written by Turgenev based on his own experience. It tells the story of a 16-year-old boy falling in love at first sight with a 21-year-old neighbor girl, showing the sweet, real and cruel side of love. Two wonderful novellas, "Axia" and "Spring Tide", were also selected. Some people commented that no one could describe all the dissatisfaction and despair of existence, all the mishaps in life, etc. Better than Turgenev.
