Stories

A wonderful Russian writer, poet, and prose master. At seventeen, Bunin published his first poems and from that time onward permanently linked his fate with literature. Bunin’s greatest fame came from his realistic novellas and stories—“Tanka,” “Bast Shoes,” and “Antonov Apples”—an audio version of which is presented on this disc. In them, the great Russian literature novelist and master of detail, I. A. Bunin, captured all his admiration for nature—its generosity and perfection—while also expressing deep sorrow for the lost harmony of the patriarchal world.
