Edinburgh, Adam and Charles Black, 1855, in-16, legatura editoriale in piena tela blu con figura in oro e fregi a secco sul piatto anteriore, titolo e figura in oro al dorso, pp. VII, [1], 428. Prima edizione in lingua inglese di quest'opera di Turgenev, considerata uno dei capolavori del realismo russo. Si tratta d'una raccolta di 25 racconti o schizzi ambientati durante le battute di caccia nella tenuta materna di Spasskoe. Pubblicati nel 1852, quando in Russia la servitù della gleba era ancora una drammatica realtà, i racconti suscitarono grande impressione nel pubblico per la loro carica di condanna sociale. La rappresentazione della crudeltà dei proprietari terrieri era priva di filtri e influenzò l'opinione pubblica a tal punto che nel 1861 lo zar abolì la servitù della gleba emancipando circa 40 milioni di contadini. Il volume si presenta integro in ogni sua componente, ma la tela delle copertine reca delle tracce di usura lungo le cerniere e i bordi dei piatti.
