1. Author: Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev

Russian name: Иван Сергеевич Тургенев, 1818-1883, Russian critical realist writer in the 19th century. He is considered to be the first Russian writer to enjoy international reputation and be valued by European and American countries. He is also one of the first Russian writers to be understood by the Chinese.

New Youth, edited by Chen Duxiu, serialized Turgenev's "Spring Tide" from the first issue in 1915, and serialized another of his novels "First Love" in 1916. Later, Ba Jin He translated "Virgin Land", Lini translated his "A Noble House" and "The Night Before", Feng Zikai translated "Hunter's Notes", etc. Until now, his works are still being translated and published in China.

2. The creative background of "Hunter's Notes":

"Hunter's Notes" came out in the late 1840s and early 1950s. This was the period when the Russian liberation movement was transitioning from an aristocratic revolution to a bourgeois-democratic revolution. It was a historical period in which Russian social life was undergoing a great transformation. During this period, the corrupt nature of the Russian autocratic system was more exposed, and the crisis of the serfdom system deepened.

Since the 1920s, Russia's serfdom system has entered a crisis stage, and this crisis is constantly deepening. Capitalism gradually developed in Russia. It violently impacted the serfdom system and gradually disintegrated the serfdom economy. It should be said that the disintegration of the serfdom economy was the fundamental cause of the serfdom crisis. At the same time, the peasants' struggle against serfdom was also intensifying.

According to statistics, from 1826 to 1850, there were 576 peasant riots. In addition, at this time, civilian intellectual revolutionaries were gradually replacing aristocratic revolutionaries, and the progressive forces participating in the revolutionary movement expanded. Turgenev created "Hunter's Notes" under the profound influence of the Russian liberation movement.
