A Sportsman's Sketches (Hardcover) by Ivan Turgenev (English) Hardcover Book

Description: A Sportsman's Sketches (Hardcover) by Ivan Turgenev The first work by Ivan Turgenev to attain wide attention, A Sportsmans Sketches is a collection of short stories mostly set amid Russias rural population of serfs and peasants. Written by Turgenev in response to the stark poverty and injustices he witnessed in Russia, the stories here depict various encounters with peasants, while the narrator himself remains unseen. Each different tale illustrates a different injustice, with characters often ordinary peasants scraping a living off the land. Others, such as the dwarf Kasyan, combine a love of folklore with a distaste for the society they live and work within. Some peasants are kindly and popular, while others are thrifty and wise - in spite of their shared circumstances, Turgenev paints a picture of a countryside which contained both arable beauty and social neglect. Although some of Turgenevs stories are short anecdotes which state a simple point before concluding, others colourfully expound upon their subjects and environment.
