About This Novel
This book is a reprint of "Collected Works of Buning" published by our company in 2005. It has five volumes in total, namely: poetry, prose, and travel notes; short stories (two volumes); novellas; and novels. Ivan Alexevich Bunin (October 10, 1870 - November 8, 1953) was a Russian writer. Winner of the 1933 Nobel Prize for Literature. His works inherit the tradition of Russian classical literature; his novels are concise, compact, beautiful, and good at describing characters' language, images, psychology and natural scenery. They have an elegiac mood full of nostalgia for the past, especially in the works that he lived overseas after the October Revolution. However, this did not prevent him from sensitively describing the fate of Russian farmers and criticizing society in his works. This volume contains a total of thirty-one short stories, among which "Tanika" is the first novel written by Buning. It is of representative significance as the beginning of his novel creation. "The Apples of Antonovka" is Bunin's famous work. The novel depicts the autumn scenery of the Russian countryside with beautiful words, skillful techniques and meticulous attention to detail. There is an atmosphere of mourning for the demise of the aristocratic class between the lines. This collection is edited by Dai Cong, a well-known Russian translator in my country, and translated by Dai Cong, Lou Ziliang, and Shi Zhenchuan. The translation language is easy to understand and strives to perfectly express the beauty and timelessness of the Russian language while conveying the writer's thoughts.
