A Sportsman's Sketches, Volume 2 by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev
"A Sportsman's Sketches, Volume 2" by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a cycle of short stories published in 1852. Through the eyes of a hunting narrator, these sketches reveal the lives of Russian peasants and their masters across various estates and villages. Each encounter—whether with shrewd farmers, idealistic dreamers, or corrupt officials—exposes the injustices of serfdom and the stark contrasts between nobility and peasantry. Based on Turgenev's own observations at his mother's estate,
these stories blend vivid character portraits with social commentary, establishing him as a major voice in Russian realist literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
