Arsenyev's life

A happy childhood on an old estate. A painful adolescence, poisoned by the peculation of education in a provincial gymnasium. Wanderings of a young man who has already realized his poetic gift, in the cities and towns of the vast Russian Empire. First job. The first great love, the first rupture ... And language - the incomparable Bunin language, forcing the reader not only as if in reality to see what is happening to the hero, but also literally hear every sound described by the writer, feel every taste and smell. Work on the work was slow and difficult, from 1927 to 1933 - but the success of "The Life of Arsenyev", first in Russian abroad, and then in translation into other languages, exceeded all expectations and became one of the main reasons for awarding Bunin the Nobel Prize. The collection also includes a cycle of short stories "The Shadow of a Bird".
