About the Author

Ivan BuninRussian

Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin (1870–1953) was a Russian poet, novelist, and short story writer, the first Russian to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1933 for his mastery of classical Russian prose traditions. Best known for works like the novels The Village (1910) and Dry Valley (1912), the autobiographical The Life of Arseniev, and the short story collection Dark Avenues, he emigrated after the 1917 Revolution and became a leading figure among Russian exiles in France.
