The Village, Ivan Bunin's first full-length novel, is a bleak and
uncompromising portrayal of rural life in south-west Russia. Set at
the time of the 1905 Revolution and centring on episodes in the
lives of a landowner and his self-educated peasant brother, the
book follows characters sunk so far below the average of
intelligence as to be scarcely human. A triumph of bitter realism,
Bunin's cruel, lyrical prose reveals the pettiness, violence and
ignorance of life on the land, foreshadowing the turbulences of
Russia in the twentieth century.
