Description

“Dark Avenues” is Bunin’s best-known book, consisting of stories about love. The author himself considered this collection his best work.

Probably no one—either before or after Bunin—created in literature such a vivid, living, and diverse “encyclopedia of love.” For Bunin, love is like a solar stroke. Experiencing this feeling at least once in your life is given to not everyone—it can be great happiness and a memory dear to the heart, and sometimes a terrible tragedy that ends in death. Each of the novellas that make up this collection is its own love story.
