Notes of a Hunter - Turgenev I. (9789660365315)

I. S. Turgenev (1818 - 1863) is a unique name even among the classics of Russian prose of the 19th century. The cycle of stories “Notes of a Hunter” presents a holistic picture of Russia, illuminated by the author’s loving, poetic attitude towards his native land, reflections on the present and future of its talented people. We have long been accustomed to the definition of “Turgenev girl”. Something pure and naive appears to us at these words. This is Irina Osinina from the novel “Smoke”, perhaps the most beautiful of his heroines.
