Sketches from a Hunter's Album (also known as The Hunting Sketches and A Sportsman's Sketches ) was an 1852 collection of short stories by Ivan Turgenev. It was the first major writing that gained him recognition. He wrote this collection of short stories based on his own observations while hunting at his mother's estate at Spasskoye, where he learned of the abuse of the peasants and the injustices of the Russian system that constrained them.

The work as a whole actually led to Turgenev's house arrest at Spasskoye. It was also partially responsible for the abolishment of serfdom in Russia.

No link to each story

I read Turgenev several times and I love the short stories. One thing I really don’t like is that there’s no links to each story, disappointed 😔

White Slavery In Russia - Black Folks please read Turgenev's sketches of life in serfdom

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

Turgenev in a series of short stories about the plight of the serfs(slaves) in Russia. They could be beaten, they could be sold, they could be sent off(Banished) or sent to fight wars for the Tsar. Able serfs could accumulate money and buy their freedom - as could able black slaves in the US if the Master permitted. White slavery in Russia was not outlawed until 1862. Turgnev is superlative with his descriptions of nature although it seems oddly off point to his empathetic sketches of the miserable lives of the serfs. Black people in the US who bemoan their history need to realize that the sufferings of their forbears gifted their progeny with opportunities to pursue life, liberty and happiness in the best(arguably) country ever dedicated to the well being of man.

A Hemingway's Favorite.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a real classic, a book that takes one to the heart of Russia pre-Revolution.
Turgenev is a master of the short-story and an inspiration for Ernest Hemingway for a good reason.

Very enjoyable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2019

I understand this booked was a catalyst for the end of serfdom. The serfs are only a backdrop but their lot is clearly a miserable one. Perhaps it was the unflattering and uncaring attitudes of the Russian aristocracy that was the real driver of change. Turgenev held a mirror up them and they did not like what they saw. I am sure the characters he portrays were based on real people. He writes beautifully and there is always a bit of humour too.

Good impression of rural life in mid 19C Russia.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

This books gives a real impression of what it must have been like to be a Russian serf in the 19C. They were virtually slaves. The only problem I have with this edition is that the print is a bit small for me.

Very interesting and fascinating style of writing. If the translation is so well written, I can imagine, what the original book might have been like to read. A great read!
