Description
“Arsenyev’s Life” belongs alongside the greatest masterpieces of Russian prose by Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and Turgenev. Written abroad in emigration, the novel is devoted to Russia.
This book is about the main thing—about the homeland and about love, about the triumph of love over forgetting… It is one of the writer’s most personal and most intimate works. “Arsenyev’s Life” is not simply a lyrical diary of distant, irrevocably gone days. The autobiographical material has been transformed by the writer so powerfully that this book connects with the stories of that cycle in which eternal problems are artistically interpreted—life, love, death.
The radio version of “Arsenyev’s Life” includes poetic works by Ivan Bunin.
