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 of the political
doxa whilst taking his poetic mastery of language to dark new
heights. Written between 1938 and 1944 and set in the context of a
disintegrating Russian culture, this collection of short fiction
centres around dark, erotic liaisons told with a rich, elegaic
poetics which probes the artistic limits of depicting desire.A
prolific writer and fierce political activist, Bunin became the
first Russian to win the Nobel prize for Literature in 1933 and was
highly influential on his contemporary Russian emigres, Checkov and
Nabokov. The "Dark Avenues" is the zenith of his work and one of
the most important Russian texts to come out of the twentieth
century.
