Dark Alleys

New

«Dark Alleys» — a cycle of stories about love, written by Bunin in exile from 1937 to 1945, under conditions of need and isolation. The writer considered it the pinnacle of his work, although for many contemporaries the book turned... out to be too bold.

This cycle is about fleeting, forbidden, sometimes cruel, and always unforgettable feelings, about a sudden meeting that lights up life for a moment and changes it forever. Love in Bunin's works does not promise happiness, but remains the most vivid event in a person's memory. Almost all stories refer to pre-revolutionary Russia through everyday life, speech, nature, and sensual details, — thus the book about the relationship between a man and a woman also became a book about loss, both personal and historical.
