Generally thought to be the work that led to the abolishment of serfdom in Russia, "Sketches from a Hunter's Album (A Sportsman's Sketches)" is a series of short stories, written in 1852, that gained Turgenev widespread recognition for his unique writing style. These stories were the result of Turgenev's observations while hunting all over Russia, particularly on his abusive mother's estate at Spasskoye. A definitive work of the Russian Realist tradition, this collection of sketches unveils the author's insights on the lives of everyday Russians, from landowners and their peasants, to bailiffs and mournful doctors, to unhappy wives and mothers. Turgenev captures their tragedies and triumphs, losses and love in a set of stories that condemned the behavior of the ruling class. Considered subversive writing, Turgenev was confined to his mother's estate, yet his "Sketches" opened the eyes of many people of his time, proving him not only an artist but also a social reformer whose abilities ultimately affected the lives of countless Russians.

Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883) was one the best-known Russian novelists of the 19th century. Among his books, "Fathers and Sons" (1862) stands out as a masterpiece. Turgenev's shorter fiction was equally popular. Written in the late 1870s and early 1880s, his "Poems in Prose" are regarded as a classical example of what is now known as flash fiction. The translation has been carefully edited, and the almost always omitted story, "Threshold", which is regarded as one of Turgenev's best, reinstated to its rightful place.
