This edition includes the novellas "Sukhodol" and "Cheerful Courtyard", the stories "Zakhar Vorobyov", "Night Conversation", "By the Road" and other works written between 1911 and 1916 — at a time when Ivan Alexeyevich Bunin was not just an interesting writer,...
but a sought-after prose author, whose books were selling in large editions. The works of the author included in this collection stand out with vivid images, finely selected comparisons, haunting descriptions: a grass-covered hut in a nobleman's garden, an elderly mother hurrying to check on her wayward son with her last strength, and others — and equally heavy fates of completely different people: both ruined landlords and simple peasants.
