Dersu Uzala

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dersu Uzala (Russian: Дерсу Узала; alternate U.S. title:The Hunter) is the title of a 1923 book by the Russian explorer Vladimir Arsenyev, telling of his travels in the Ussuri basin, and the name of a Nanai hunter (ca. 1850-1908) who acted as a guide for Arsenyev's surveying crew from 1902-1907, and saved them from starvation and cold. Arsenyev portrays him as a great man.

From 1907, Arsenev invited Dersu to live in his house in Khabarovsk as Dersu's failing sight hampered his ability to live as a hunter. In the spring of 1908, Dersu bade farewell to Arsenyev and walked back to his home in the Primorsky Krai, where he died.

4142 Dersu-Uzala is an asteroid named after Dersu.
