About the book: 1989 / The name of I. A. Bunin is one of the most famous in the history of Russian literature. His life is full of acute dramatic turns. Fate either raised the writer to the crest of world fame, or forced him to eke out a miserable existence in a foreign land. This book for the first time tells in detail about Bunin’s life abroad against the motley background of literary and political emigration. The book contains many new documents - diary entries, letters from Bunin, memories of him.
