Записки охотника (Zapiski Ohotnika)

by Ivan Turgenev

Записки охотника (Hunter's Notes) is a collection of interconnected stories by Ivan Turgenev, published between 1847 and 1851. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of a nameless narrator, an avid hunter who travels across the Russian countryside, encountering a variety of characters and observing the lives of serfs and their masters. Turgenev's evocative prose paints a vivid picture of Russian rural life, capturing the beauty of nature and the harsh realities of serfdom. The stories explore themes of social injustice, the complexities of human relationships, and the yearning for freedom and love. Turgenev's nuanced and compassionate portrayal of both the oppressors and the oppressed shines a light on the moral dilemmas and emotional struggles of a society grappling with the institution of serfdom.
