Antonov apples. Bunin I.

Ivan Alekseevich Bunin, a respectable member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences (1909), Nobel Prize winner (1933), in the twentieth century continued the traditions of the great Russian literature of the nineteenth century. The pain for the destroyed patriarchal-holy Russia and the feeling of the inevitable tragedy of human existence permeate all the work of Bunin. The honed prose of the master carries a huge charge of sorrow, but the sadness of light and not inconsolable, because it always tells of love. Love for the departed, changed homeland, love for deceiving hope, love for a woman - for love as a property of the soul and the meaning of its existence.. This volume includes the stories of 1892-1900, as well as poems of 1908-1915.
