Night of Denial: Stories and Novellas

More about the book

Ivan Bunin, the first Russian Nobel laureate in literature, is celebrated as the last of the great Russian masters. Fleeing to France after the 1920 revolution, he continued to craft profound short stories, including "The Gentleman from San Francisco," and published his final collection, "Dark Avenues," in the 1940s. His notable works include the autobiographical "The Life of Arseniev" and memoirs reflecting on his literary connections with Tolstoy and Chekhov, highlighting his role as a bridge between these literary giants and Nabokov.
