Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin ( or ; Russian: Ива́н Алексе́евич Бу́нин ; ] ; 22 October [O.S. 10 October] 1870  – 8 November 1953) was the first Russian writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
 He was noted for the strict artistry with which he carried on the classical Russian traditions in the writing of prose and poetry.
 The texture of his poems and stories, sometimes referred to as "Bunin brocade", is considered to be one of the richest in the language.
Richard Russo (born July 15, 1949) is an American novelist, short story writer, screenwriter, and teacher.
Cursed Days (Окаянные дни, "Okayánnye Dni") is a book by a Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin, compiled of diaries and notes he made while in Moscow and Odessa in 1918-1920.
 Fragments from it were published in 1925-1926 by the Paris-based "Vozrozhdenye" newspaper.
 In its full version "Cursed Days" appeared in the Vol.X of "The Complete Bunin" (1936), compiled and published in Berlin by the Petropolis publishing house.
 In the USSR the book remained banned up until the late 1980s.
 Parts of it were included in the 1988 Moscow edition of "The Complete Bunin" (Vol.
 VI).
 After the collapse of the Soviet Union, "Cursed Days" became immensely popular in its author's homeland.
 Since 1991, no less than fifteen separate editions of Bunin's diary/notebook have been published in Russia.
 The English translation, made by Bunin scholar Thomas Gaiton Marullo, was published (as "Cursed Days.
 A Diary of the Revolution") in 1998 in the United States by Chicago-based Ivan R. Dee Publishers.
Loopy Ears (Петлистые уши, "Petli′stye U′shi") is a short story by a Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin which was written in 1917 and gave his posthumous 1954 collection its title.
 The story was first published in the seventh issue of the "Slovo" anthology (Moscow, 1917) and remains to this day one of the most talked about Bunin's stories, being the first piece of work in the Russian literature featuring a serial killer as the main character.
 Mark Aldanov considered the story as one of the Bunin's best.
The Village (Russian: Деревня , "Derévnya " ) is a short novel by the Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin, written in 1909 and first published in "Sovremenny Mir" journal (St.-P., ##3, 10–11, 1910) under the title "Novelet" (Повесть ).
 "The Village" caused much controversy at the time, though it was highly praised by Maxim Gorky (who from then on regarded the author as the major figure in Russian literature), among others, and is now generally regarded as Bunin's first masterpiece.
 Composed of brief episodes in the Russian provinces at the time of the 1905 Revolution and set in the author's birthplace, it tells the story of two peasant brothers, one a brute drunk, the other a gentler, more sympathetic character.
 Bunin's realistic portrayal of village life jarred with the idealized picture of "unspoiled" peasants which was common in the mainstream Russian literature, and offended many with characters which "sunk so far below the average of intelligence as to be scarcely human."
About Chekhov (Russian: О Чехове , "O Chekhove " ) is a book of memoirs by a Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin, devoted to Anton Chekhov, his friend and major influence.
 Bunin started working on the book in the late 1940s in France.
 It remained unfinished, was completed by the writer's widow Vera Muromtseva (aided by Leonid Zurov), and came out posthumously in New York City, in 1955.
 Translated by Thomas Gaiton Marullo, the book was published in English in 2007, under the title "About Chekhov.
 The Unfinished Symphony".
The Gentleman from San Francisco (Господин из Сан-Франциско, "Gospodin iz San Frantsisco") is a short story by a Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin, written in 1915 and published the same year in Moscow, in the 5th volume of "Slovo" (Word) anthology.
 Translated into English by D.H.Lawrence (with Samuil Koteliansky), the story is one of Bunin's best known and regarded as classic.
"Dreams" (Russian: Сны , "Sny " ) is a novella by a Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin, written in the late 1903 and first published in the first book of the "Znanie" (Knowledge) Saint Petersburg literary almanach in 1904, where it was coupled with another short novella, "The Golden Bottom" (Золотое дно), under the common title "Black Earth" (Чернозём).
 "Dreams" is generally regarded as the turning point in Bunin's literary career, marking the radical turn towards social issues prior to which he had mostly avoided.
"Meliton" is a novella by a Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin.
 Dated as "1900-1930" in "The Complete Bunin" (Petropolis, Berlin, 1935; Moscow, 1965), it was first published in the 1901 No.7 (July) issue of Saint Petersburg magazine "Zhurnal Dlya Vsekh" (Journal For Everyone), originally under the title "Skete" (Скит).
 While working upon the "Primal Love" (Начальная любовь) compilation, Bunin changed the story's title into "Meliton" (after its main character's first name).
 In its final version the novella appeared in the July 6, 1930, No.3392 issue of the Paris-based "Poslednye Novosti" newspaper.
Dry Valley (Russian: Суходол , "Sukhodo′l " ) is a short novel by a Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin, first published in the April 1912 issue of the Saint Petersburg "Vestnik Evropy" magazine.
 Having come out soon after "The Village" (1910), it is usually linked to the latter as the author's second major book concerning the bleak state of Russia as a whole and its rural community in particular.
 It is also regarded as the last in Bunin's early 1900s cycle of "gentry elegies".
