Nel 1952 a Ivan Bunin, ormai confinato in un letto a causa delle pessime condizioni di salute, capitano tra le mani i volumi dell'epistolario di A.P. Cechov, che si andava allora pubblicando in Urss. E quella lettura è per lui come una scossa improvvisa perché gli fa rivivere i momenti di una intensa amicizia - nata nel 1895 e interrotta soltanto dalla morte di Anton Pavlovic nel 1904 -, in cui il vincolo affettivo si fondeva con la venerazion...

The Gentleman from San Francisco is easily the best known of Ivan Bunin's stories and has achieved the stature of a masterpiece. But Bunin's other stories and novellas are not to be missed. Over the last several years a great many of them have been freshly and brilliantly translated by Graham Hettlinger. Together, along with four new pieces, they are now published in a one-volume paperback collection of Bunin's greatest writings.

The title story in this collection, first published in the original Russian in 1915, is one of Nobel Prize winner Bunin's best known short stories and is considered a classic.

Ivan Bunin was the first Russian writer of the twentieth century to be award the Nobel Prize in literature. Like many other Russian writers, he emigrated after the Revolution and never returned to his homeland, "The Life of Arseniev" is the major work of his emigre period.

Graham Hettlinger's brilliant translations of Bunin's stories in Sunstroke (2002) were widely acclaimed. In The Elagin Affair, Mr. Hettlinger continues to acquaint English-language readers with a Bunin they may not have appreciated. The Elagin Affair contains two of the author's greatest novellas, the title piece and "Mitya's Love, " as well as a broad range of stories written between 1900 and 1940 and centered on themes of love, loss, and the...

Here is Bunin's great anti-Bolshevik diary of the Russian Revolution, translated into English for the first time. Cursed Days is a chilling account of the last days of the Russian master in his homeland. He recreates the time of revolution and civil war with graphic and gripping immediacy.

The first Russian to be awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, Ivan Bunin is often considered the last of the great Russian masters. Already renowned in Russia before the revolution, he fled the country in 1920 and lived the remainder of his life in France, where he continued to write for thirty years. Bunin made his name as a short-story writer with such masterpieces as "The Gentleman from San Francisco, " the title piece in one of his colle...

At once nostalgic for a bygone more innocent age and foreshadowing the turbulences of the twentieth century, Bunin's narrative is a triumph of bitter realism, shot through with the author's classical style and precision of language.

It is time to recognize that this politically and culturally incorrect avatar of the Russian...
