Великий русский писатель, создавший бессмертные произведения, среди которых "Жизнь Арсеньева", "Антоновские яблоки", "Темные аллеи", "Митина любовь", "Господин из Сан-Франциско", Иван Алексеевич Бунин - безусловный мастер русской и мировой литературы. Показательна оценка его творчества Нобелевским комитетом "За строгое мастерство, с которым он развивает традиции русской классической прозы".
Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin (Russian: Иван Алексеевич Бунин) was the first Russian writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was noted for the strict artistry with which he carried on the classical Russian traditions in the writing of prose and poetry. The texture of his poems and stories, sometimes referred to as "Bunin brocade", is considered to be one of the richest in the language.
Best known for his short novels The Village (1910) and Dry Valley (1912), his autobiographical novel The Life of Arseniev (1933, 1939), the book of short stories Dark Avenues (1946) and his 1917–1918 diary ( Cursed Days, 1926), Bunin was a revered figure among anti-communist White emigres, European critics, and many of his fellow writers, who viewed him as a true heir to the tradition of realism in Russian literature established by Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov.
Filled with beauty and mystery. Loved every word. My edition was with the very detailed commentary on the story (which is probably around 5 times bigger than the text itself). Which I also read but it’s not on goodreads haha. Astonishing example of the “close reading”. How much depth can be found in just 13 pages.
Как красиво написано. Стихи у Бунина - для меня простецкий мрак, слишком плоские, не цепляют. А этот рассказ очень понравился. Давно не кайфовала так от школьной литры. Даже появилось желание нарисовать что-то, как мы делали в 5-6 классе ( нам давали задания иллюстрировать к прочитанному материалу)
