"I Feel Very Unsteady..."
21 hrs. 6 min.
Description
This book is based on Ivan Bunin’s essays and memoirs, as well as his rare unpublished materials.
A deep look by the Nobel laureate at life in exile, Russia’s fate, and the enduring power of the writer’s word!
“I feel very shaky…”—these are words from Ivan Bunin’s memoirs about a day in 1933, when he received the Nobel Prize. Bunin speaks about the fragility of fame and of a writer’s glory, of life in a foreign country, and, indeed, of human life in general.
The foundation of this book is Bunin’s essays and memoirs, written after he left Russia in 1920.
“In the 1920s Bunin became one of the most vivid essayists of Russian abroad. Essayistic writing remained in his work and later too, because he mostly remembered Russia—he could not and did not want to write coldly about what happened to his native country, without feeling it.”
