TimmyMac reviewed A Sportsman's Sketches by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev
Review of "A Sportsman's Sketches" on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I'll be honest - I started reading the Russians mostly to be able to say I've read the Russians, but this book was absolutely incredible. The language was direct and evocative, and the glimpse into the lives of Russian serfs (and their masters) was really fascinating. No wonder Communism seemed like a good idea to them! Can't wait to read more Turgenev.
