Description
Ivan Bunin’s lyrical autobiographical audiobook!
A happy childhood in an old estate. мучительне adolescence poisoned by the bureaucratic learning imposed in a provincial gymnasium. The wanderings of a young man who had already realized his poetic gift across the cities and villages of the vast Russian Empire. First work. First great love, first breakup… And the language—unmatched, Bunin’s language—which makes the reader not only see what happens to the hero as if in real life, but literally hear every sound described by the writer, feel every taste and scent.
Work on the book went slowly and with difficulty—from 1927 to 1933; however, the success of “The Life of Arseniev,” first among Russian émigrés and later in translations into other languages, surpassed all expectations and became one of the main reasons Bunin was awarded the Nobel Prize.
