The Chalice of Life (Chasha Zhizni)
13.99£
Ivan Alekseevich Bunin, the first Russian winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, was a poet and novelist who became a classic in his lifetime. His short novellas were compared to prose poems, and it's no coincidence that Bunin's collections often published short stories and novellas alongside his poetry. 'Poetic language should approximate the simplicity and naturalness of colloquial speech,' Bunin wrote, 'and prose style should be characterized by the musicality and flexibility of verse.' Furthermore, many of Bunin's stories possess a lyrical and philosophical tone, which also defines his poetry. By delving into the patterns of fate, the depths of memory and the past, scenes of nature, and the bright and dark sides of the human soul, Bunin strives to express in his work the fragile charm and beauty of life, to capture the strange, endless fluidity of time, and to touch upon the mysteries of death and immortality. This edition presents Bunin's stories, written over a variety of years.
