Иван Бунин ( Ivan Bunin)

Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin was born on 22 October on his parental estate in Voronezh province in Central Russia, was the first Russian writer awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

He was renowned for the severe artistry with which he carried on the classical Russian traditions in the writing of prose and poetry. The texture of his poems and stories, sometimes referred to as “Bunin brocade”, is considered to be one of the richest in the language.

Best recognized for his small novels The Village (1910) and Dry Valley (1912), his autobiographical novel The Life of Arseniev (1933, 1939), the book of short stories Dark Avenues (1946) and his 1917–1918 diary (Cursed Days, 1926), Bunin was a respected figure among anti-communist white emigres, European critics, and many of his fellow writers, who watched him as a true heir to the tradition of realism in Russian literature recognized by Tolstoy and Chekhov.
