Description: 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.
