This article considers English translations of Sergei Aksakov"s pastoral trilogy , or parts of it, by "a Russian lady" (1871), James Duff (1916-24), and M. C. Beverley (1924), in the light of Vladimir Nabokov"s pronouncements about literary translation in general and his dismissive statements about Aksakov as a writer. Particular attention is devoted to Aksakov"s descriptions of the flora and wild life of the province of Ufa and the difficulties this posed for the translators
