Description
English: The portrait of the anonymous character of the short story The Hamlet of the Shchigry District by Ivan Turgenev (from the collection A Sportsman's Sketches).
“ ‘Let me at least know,’ I asked, ‘with whom I have had the pleasure...’

He raised his head quickly.

‘No, for mercy’s sake!’ he cut me short, ‘don’t inquire my name either of me or of others. Let me remain to you an unknown being, crushed by fate, Vassily Vassilyevitch. Besides, as an unoriginal person, I don’t deserve an individual name... But if you really want to give me some title, call me... call me the Hamlet of the Shtchigri district. There are many such Hamlets in every district, but perhaps you haven’t come across others... After which, good-bye.’

”

—Ivan Turgenev. The Peasant Proprietor Ovsyanikov (translation by Constance Garnett).

Русский: Портрет скрывшего своё настоящее имя героя рассказа И.С. Тургенева «Гамлет Щигровского уезда» (из цикла «Записки охотника»).
“ — Позвольте по крайней мере узнать, — спросил я, — с кем я имел удовольствие...

Он проворно поднял голову.

— Нет, ради бога, — прервал он меня, — не спрашивайте моего имени ни у меня, ни у других. Пусть я останусь для вас неизвестным существом, пришибленным судьбою Васильем Васильевичем. Притом же я, как человек неоригинальный, и не заслуживаю особенного имени... А уж если вы непременно хотите мне дать какую-нибудь кличку, так назовите... назовите меня Гамлетом Щигровского уезда. Таких Гамлетов во всяком уезде много, но, может быть, вы с другими не сталкивались... Засим прощайте.

”

Object history This and other two drawings (The Peasant Proprietor Ovsyanikov and Kassyan of Fair Springs) were discovered pasted in the first one-book editions of A Sportsman's Sketches belonged to Nikolay Shchepkin (1850–1914), the steward of Ivan Turgenev’s landed property in 1876–1880. Shchepkin made an inscription on a flyleaf of the book: “Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev told me personally that the drawings in this book were of his own work. N. Shchepkin. This book was given me personally by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev in 1880. Nikolay Shchepkin. 10 February 1903.”
