Editor's Take:

Ivan Bunin was the first Russian writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. He came from an old but impoverished noble family. His prose is precise and lyrical, especially when describing the Russian countryside. His novella The Village painted a bleak portrait of peasant life. He opposed the Bolsheviks and left Russia in 1920. He lived the rest of his life in exile in France. His late story collection Dark Avenues is about love and memory.
