A Hunter’s Sketches (also known as A Sportsman’s Sketches) is a collection of short stories by Ivan Turgenev, first published in 1852. Through the eyes of a wandering hunter, Turgenev portrays the lives of Russian peasants and landowners with realism and compassion. The work criticizes serfdom and highlights social injustices in 19th-century Russia, playing a key role in shaping public opinion against serfdom before its abolition.
