Notes of a Hunter

Notes of the Hunter - a cycle of stories by I.S. Turgenev, which were published in 1847-1851 in the magazine Contemporary and were released by a separate publication in 1852. It was these stories that brought fame to the writer.
In “Notes ...” Turgenev repelled a deeply true picture of serf Russia. The storyteller-a wandering hunter, an educated and observant person-tells the reader about how different segments of the population lived in the province-from noble nobles to the poor peasants.
The collection includes all the stories, including those added by the author to the cycle in the 1870s, as well as incomplete sketches. The publication is supplemented by illustrations of artists of the XIX - early XX century and Turgenev himself
