A Sportsman's Sketches (Classic Reprint) by Ivan Turgenev Pdf

Excerpt from A Sportsman's Sketches This edition of Ivan Turgenev's best known work contains fourteen of the twenty-five sketches which appear in the full two-volume editions. A selection has been made of the best and includes all those in which the flavour of the open air is strongly marked. The editor has been fortunate in being able to arrange to use Mrs. Constance Garnett's translation, which is by far the best rendering in English that has been made. Translators of Russian commonly fail in one of two ways. Either their efforts to preserve the finer shades of meaning of the original text result in English which is forced and artificial, or the desire to render colloquially the method of speech of the Russian peasant entirely destroys the character of the author's style. Mrs. Garnett avoids both these pitfalls; for while her rendering leaves nothing to be desired as regards the quality of the English, the subtle nuances of the Russian text are.

A Sportsman's Sketches, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by Ivan Turgenev Pdf

Excerpt from A Sportsman's Sketches, Vol. 2 Give me your hand, gentle reader, and come along with me. It is glorious weather; there is a tender blue in the May sky; the smooth young leaves of the willows glisten as though they had been polished; the wide even road is all covered with that delicate grass with the little reddish stalk that the sheep are so fond of nibbling; to right and to left, over the long sloping hillsides, the green rye is softly waving; the shadows of small clouds glide in thin long streaks over it. In the distance is the dark mass of forests, the glitter of ponds, yellow patches of village; larks in hundreds are soaring, singing, falling headlong with outstretched necks, hopping about the clods; the crows on the highroad stand still, look at you, peck at the earth, let you drive close up, and with two hops lazily move aside. On a hill beyond a ravine a peasant is ploughing; a piebald colt, with a cropped tail and ruffled mane, is running on unsteady legs after its mother; its shrill whinnying reaches us.

A Sportsman's Sketches, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by Ivan Turgenev Pdf

Excerpt from A Sportsman's Sketches, Vol. 1 Anyone who has chanced to pass from the Bolhovsky district into the Zhizdrinsky district, must have been impressed by the striking difference between the race of people in the province of Orel and the population of the province of Kaluga. The peasant of Orel is not tall, is bent in figure, sullen and suspicious in his looks; he lives in wretched little hovels of aspen-wood, labours as a serf in the fields, and engages in no kind of trading, is miserably fed, and wears slippers of bast: the rent-paying peasant of Kaluga lives in roomy cottages of pine-wood he is tall, bold, and cheerful in his looks, neat and clean of countenance; he carries on a trade in butter and tar, and on holidays he wears boots. The village of the Orel province (we are speaking now of the eastern part of the province) is usually situated in the midst of ploughed fields, near a water-course which has been converted into a filthy pool.

Silver Fields by Rowland E. Robinson Pdf

Excerpt from Silver Fields: And Other Sketches of a Farmer-Sportsman After many downfalls of snow by night and day, everything of lesser height and sheer uprightness than buildings and trees is buried in universal whiteness. Sometimes the snow flutters down and silently alights like immense flocks Of birds. At other times it descends as silently, but like the continuous falling of a gray veil shutting one in from all the world lying farther away than his nearest outbuildings. Another snowfall comes blown by howling winds in long slants to the earth and Whirled and tossed along the fields blurring their surface in a frozen crust.

The Life of a Sportsman (Classic Reprint) by Nimrod Nimrod Pdf

Excerpt from The Life of a Sportsman MY design and object in writing this work was not merely to depict the life of a sportsman, in the general - perhaps, with some persons, unfavourable - acceptation of that term, but, taking higher ground, to portray the character of an English gentleman attached to the sports and pastimes of his country; and, likewise, to give a sketch of a country gentleman's family, in as close imitation as pos sible of those of the best description, with which it has been my good fortune to become acquainted. In fact, in many instances, the imitation, or resemblance, is so close, as not to be doubtful to many as to who are the original parties; and they themselves cannot be displeased with my selection, when they are intended to be displayed as examplars worthy of being followed by others.

Excerpt from A Sportsman's Eden It was at the end of the last London season that our little party got together and booked for Montreal by the Dominion Line. The tennis lawns of Montgomeryshire had grown brown and dry, and drier and more parched were the bodies and brains of the husbands and brothers in London, to whom certain Montgomeryshire ladies suggested an autumn in Canada.
