Dersu Uzala

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 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. 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.
