Dark Alleys

I. A. Bunin (1870—1953) mastered the genres of short story and novella. His prose is always about love. About love for Russia, nature, a woman. Genuine feeling for Bunin is an unattainable peak that a person strives for, dreaming of understanding, unity with another personality, with the world, but never truly possesses it forever, until the end of their days. The collection "Dark Alleys" includes novellas and stories about fateful love, passionate love, which subsequently turns into loss and is therefore tragic. Only moments of love, elevating a person to the peak of happiness. And then the fall. Inevitable and catastrophic. Forever destroying the harmony of this world.
