Book Synopsis The Gentleman from San Francisco and Other Stories by : Ivan Bunin
Download or read book The Gentleman from San Francisco and Other Stories written by Ivan Bunin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1992-09-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerful, evocative stories from the first Russian author to win the Nobel Prize in Literature A Penguin Classic A much neglected literary figure, Ivan Bunin is one of Russia's major writers and ranks with Tolstoy and Chekhov at the forefront of the Russian Realists. Drawing artistic inspiration from his personal experience, these stories are set in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russia of his youth, in the countries that he visited and in France, where he spent the last thirty years of his life. In the title story, a family's tour of fashionable European resorts comes to an unexpected end; "Late Hour" describes an old man's return to the little Russian town in the steppes that he has not seen since his early youth; "Mitya's Love" explores the darker emotional reverberations of sexual experience. Throughout his stories, there is a sense of the precariousness of existence, an omnipresent awareness of the impermanence of human aspirations and achievements.

Book Synopsis The Village by : Ivan Alekseevich Bunin
Download or read book The Village written by Ivan Alekseevich Bunin and published by . This book was released on 1923 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A short novel by the Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin, written in 1909 and first published in 1910 by the Saint Petersburg magazine Sovremenny Mir (issues Nos. 3, 10-11) under the title Novelet. The Village caused much controversy at the time, though it was highly praised by Maxim Gorky (who from then on regarded the author as the major figure in Russian literature), among others, and is now generally regarded as Bunin's first masterpiece. Composed of brief episodes set in its author's birthplace at the time of the 1905 Revolution, it tells the story of two peasant brothers, one a brute drunk, the other a gentler, more sympathetic character. Bunin's realistic portrayal of the country life jarred with the idealized picture of "unspoiled" peasants which was common for the mainstream Russian literature, and featured the characters deemed 'offensive' by many, which were "so far below the average in terms of intelligence as to be scarcely human".
Book Synopsis The Meaning of History by : NikolaÄ Berdiï¸ a︡ev
Download or read book The Meaning of History written by NikolaÄ Berdiï¸ a︡ev and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Berdyaev considered the philosophy of history as a field that laid the foundations of the Russian national consciousness. Its disputes were centered on distinctions between slavophiles and Westerners, East and West. The Meaning of History was an early effort, following World War I, that attempted to revive this perspective. With the removal of Communism as a ruling system in Russia, that nation returned to an elaboration of a religious philosophy of history as the specific mission of Russian thought. This volume thus has contemporary significance. Its sense of the apocalypse, which distinguishes Russian from Western thought, gives the book its specifically religious character.
