Notes of a hunter

The cycle of stories and essays of Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev "Notes of the Hunter" is another step of Russian literature of the 19th century towards understanding the depth and greatness of the common people: peasants, courtyards, small landowners. Written on the basis of the real meetings of the writer with the inhabitants of the Oryol province during his hunting sorties, "Notes" are a combination of ethnographic sketches with a psychological analysis of heroes. Wise, compassionate, subtly feeling the characters of the stories opened people worthy of respect to readers.
To match the stories and illustrations of the Brothers Paul and Pyotr Sokolov, created shortly after Turgenev’s writings. The smallest details of everyday life are connected in them with deeply thought -out portraits of heroes
