  Ivan Bunin
Bunin was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1933.
Bunin wrote short stories for various newspapers, and started a correspondence with Anton Chechov, becoming a close friend with him.
Bunin's realistic portrayal of village life destroyed the idealized picture of unspoiled peasants, and arose much controversy with its "characters sunk so far below the average of intelligence as to be scarcely human." Two years later appeared SUKHODOL (Dry Valley), a lament for the passing of gentry life and a veiled biography of Bunin's family.

 Ivan Bunin - Leeds Russian Archive - Special Collections - Leeds University Library
Born in Voronezh on 10/22 October 1870, Ivan Alekseevich Bunin was one of nine children of Aleksei Nikolaevich Bunin (1827-1906) and Liudmila Aleksandrovna Bunina (née Uvarova, 1835-1910).
Bunin was then tutored by his elder brother Iulii (1857-1921), with whom he became very close and who was living under house arrest on a family estate, after serving a year in prison for participating in a revolutionary student group.
Bunin himself, ever reluctant to become involved in politics, was fêted as both a writer and the embodiment of non-Bolshevik Russian values and traditions.

A warts-and-all portrayal of the revered Russian writer Ivan Bunin - as a bullying, drunken egotist - is being hailed as the most important film to come out of Russia this year.
Far from being a tabloid exposé, this is a sensitive account of the emotions that overwhelmed the writer in his last years, loosely based on documentary evidence from Bunin's memoirs and the diary kept by his wife, Vera, as a form of escapism.
Bunin's Nobel prize in 1933, the onset of the second world war, unsettling reports from Stalin's new regime in the Soviet Union - all these are background events, overshadowed by the writer's infatuation with the young poet Galina Plotnikova (actually Galina Kuznetsova, whose name has been changed to spare the feelings of surviving relatives).

Bunin emphasizes that his unique position in Russian letters is due to the variety of his opus and his perfectly fluent mastery of "many Russian languages, the languages of many castes." Sazonova found this statement so remarkable that she proposed it as epigraph for the book she was planning to write about Bunin.
Contradicting critics who praise his powers of observation, Bunin states that he has "a poor recollection of the details," but "an acute perception of the whole" out of which his fictions were born.
Bunin has often been relegated to the status of an anachronism in Russian literature, of a writer following in the mid-twentieth century the nineteenth century path of Turgenev and Tolstoj.

 GradeSaver: Sunstroke: Selected Stories of Ivan Bunin Essay: A Study of Ivan Bunin
Bunin, by introducing light as a symbol of man's awareness of the inevitable decline of joy, simultaneously casts darkness as the denial of such truths, a denial that may lead to even great despair.
Bunin explicitly exposes Kasimir Stanislavovitch's plan to revive his spirit by fusing the past with the present, hoping to return some of that long-lost happiness.
As the narrative progresses, Bunin parallels the two tries at happiness to showcase the inalienable failure that follows any attempt at earthly happiness, and his characters' proclivity to, in turn, seek refuge in the past.

Bunin concentrates on the fine details of landscape (the Volga at the darker part of twilight, the mud and gloom of Moscow), the essence of beautifully crafted descriptions of In Ida, the human postures (sweetsmelling hands, weeping, tender kisses) and wistful details.
Bunin is also social critic, at times, conveying a modern society riddled by self-indulgence.
In "The Gentleman from San Francisco" he presents one scene that is reminiscent of the glistening Gatsby era, replete with ballroom, orchestra and well-dressed crowds, then with one masterful swing of the pendulum, the mood shifts.

With this literary perspective, Bunin consistently attempts to pursue the most fundamental questions of human existence: the questions of freedom and necessity, body and spirit, the eternity of nature and the limited fate of human being on the earth.
At the same time, to intensify the aesthetic effects in his works, Bunin elaborately uses the lyrical perception of nature, color and mood, and the artistic unity of narrative tempo and tension.

 The Narratology of the Autobiography: An Analysis of the Literary Devices Employed in Ivan Bunin's The Life of Arsen'ev ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
When Zweers turns to Bunin's novel itself, the technique of lengthy quotation with relatively modest commentary takes on such proportions as to bring the study to a virtual standstill.
As a result, in order to prove his perfectly valid, albeit pretty obvious point (that Bunin went for artistic effect rather than truth in Arsen'ev), all Zweers needed to do was to juxtapose two or three key passages.
In the end, this reader simply feels that narratological analysis in the detail presented here (a) is unnecessary and (b) causes the author to avoid examining most of the things in Bunin's great novel that are most worthy of discussion.
