 Light Breathing and Other Stories
|
I have visited many European
countries, and I've noticed there are a lot of books by such
Russian writers as A.P. Chekhov, F.M. Dostoevsky, L.N. Tolstoy
and many others, but I have never met any books by I.A. Bunin.
And I think it is an unpardonable omission, because Bunin was
extremely talented writer, some of his short stories express
much more than some big novels of some other writers. Bunin's
prose teach us kindness and love. One can gain a lot from such
Bunin's stories like 'The Light Breathing', 'Antonovskie
Apples', 'The Dark Paths' etc. His prose is embodiment of Russian classic
literature, Bunin himself was the last representative of primordial
Russian school in literature, so, I think that everybody who
likes Turgenev and Chekov will like Bunin. And everybody who
does not like them probably will change his opinion after reading
some Bunin's works.
