Description
Dark Avenues by Ivan Bunin is a profound collection of short fiction that probes the artistic limits of depicting desire. Written between 1938 and 1944, this work centres around dark, erotic liaisons told with a rich, elegiac poetics. Considered one of the most influential authors of twentieth century Russian Literature, Ivan Bunin's "Dark Avenues" is the culmination of a life's work which unrelentingly questioned the political doxa. The book is set in the context of a disintegrating Russian culture and showcases Bunin's poetic mastery of language. A prolific writer and fierce political activist, Bunin was highly influential on his contemporary Russian emigres, including Checkov and Nabokov. This collection is the zenith of his work and one of the most important Russian texts to come out of the twentieth century.
