Ivan Bunin: The Twilight of Emigre Russia, 1934-1953

Meer over het boek

In this third and concluding volume of his acclaimed portrait of Ivan Bunin, Thomas Gaiton Marullo relates the struggle of the writer and of the émigré Russian artistic community in Europe to keep alive the memory of “patriarchal” Russia against a backdrop of personal suffering, poverty, war, and longing for the homeland. As in his first two volumes, Mr. Marullo displays a keen eye for the telling quotation and a remarkable talent for putting together a moving story from highly disparate sources.
