Over Toergenjevs Jagersverhalen schreef Karel van het Reve: 'Het zijn zeer eenvoudige verhalen: de verteller ontmoet op zijn tochten – meestal op jacht, een eigen huis heeft hij niet – mensen en praat met ze, en gaat dan weer verder. (...) De ellende der lijfeigenschap, de gruwelijke afhankelijkheid der lijfeigen boeren – en vooral het huispersoneel – van de grillen van hun eigenaren wordt ad oculos gedemonstreerd, terwijl tegelijk bijna ieder verhaal een juweel is van harmonie en stilte. Berusting en protest zijn niet van elkaar te onderscheiden.'

Ivan Turgenev, 1818 - 1883 Novelist, poet and playwright, Ivan Turgenev, was born to a wealthy family in Oryol in the Ukraine region of Russia. He attended St. Petersburg University (1834-37) and Berlin University (1838-41), completing his master's exam at St. Petersburg. His career at the Russian Civil Service began in 1841. He worded for the show more Ministry of Interior from 1843-1845. In the 1840's, Turgenev began writing poetry, criticism, and short stories under Nikolay Gogol's influence. "A Sportsman's Sketches" (1852) were short pieces written from the point of view of a nobleman who learns to appreciate the wisdom of the peasants who live on his family's estate. This brought him a month of detention and eighteen months of house arrest. From 1853-62, he wrote stories and novellas, which include the titles "Rudin" (1856), "Dvorianskoe Gnedo" (1859), "Nakanune" (1860) and "Ottsy I Deti" (1862). Turgenev left Russia, in 1856, because of the hostile reaction to his work titled "Fathers and Sons" (1862). Turgenev finally settled in Paris. He became a corresponding member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in 1860 and Doctor of Civil Law at Oxford University in 1879. His last published work, "Poems in Prose," was a collection of meditations and anecdotes. On September 3, 1883, Turgenev died in Bougival, near Paris. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
