- Dersu Uzala
"Dersu Uzala" ( _ru. 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 theUssuri basin, and the name of aNanai 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 thePrimorsky Krai , where he died. According to Arsenyev's book, Dersu Uzala was murdered near the town of Korfovskiy and buried in an unmarked grave in the taiga.4142 Dersu-Uzala is an asteroid named after Dersu.Editions in Russian
