“Around me is a dead hot sea of ​​dunes and valleys, rocks half-covered with sands and burial grounds. Everything glitters like satin, separating from silky azure. Everywhere deathly silence and an abyss of fiery light: I go and do not take my eyes off the Sphinx. His torso is carved entirely from granite - only the head and shoulders are attached. The chest is upholstered, flat, layered. Paws are disfigured. And all of it, rough, wild, fabulously huge, bears traces of that terrible antiquity and that struggle that from time immemorial was destined for him, as the guardian of the "Country of the Sun", the country of life, from Set, the god of death. It is covered in cracks and seems lopsided from the sands that obliquely cover it. But how calmly, calmly, he looks somewhere to the East, to the distant sunny-hazy valley of the Nile. His womanly head, his five-yard noseless face evokes in my heart almost the same reverence as in the hearts of Khufu's subjects.

Ludmila Aleksandrovna Bunina

Alexey Nikolaevich Bunin

Ivan Alekseevich Bunin was born on October 23, 1870 (October 10, old style) in Voronezh, on Dvoryanskaya Street. The impoverished landowners Bunins belonged to a noble family, among their ancestors - V. A. Zhukovsky and the poetess Anna Bunina.



Since 1889, an independent life began - with a change of professions, with work both in provincial and metropolitan periodicals. Collaborating with the editors of the Orlovsky Vestnik newspaper, the young writer met the newspaper's proofreader Varvara Vladimirovna Pashchenko, who married him in 1891.


In 1900, Bunin's story "Antonov's Apples" appeared, later included in all anthologies of Russian prose. In the same period, wide literary fame comes: for the poetry collection "Falling Leaves" (1901), for the translation of the poem by the American romantic poet G. Longfellow "The Song of Hiawatha" (1896), Bunin was awarded the Pushkin Prize by the Russian Academy of Sciences




In the works written after the first Russian Revolution of 1905, the theme of the drama of Russian historical fate becomes the main one (the stories The Village, 1910, The Dry Valley, 1912). Both stories were a huge success with readers.

He took the February Revolution with pain, foreseeing the coming trials. The October coup only strengthened his confidence in the approaching catastrophe. The book of journalism "Cursed Days" (1918) became a diary of the events of the life of the country and the writer's reflections at that time. The Bunins leave Moscow for Odessa (1918), and then - abroad, to France (1920). The break with the Motherland, as it turned out later, forever, was painful for the writer.



In 1927-1930, Bunin turned to the short story genre ("Elephant", "Calf's Head", "Roosters", etc.). This is the result of the writer's search for ultimate conciseness, ultimate semantic richness, semantic "capacity" of prose.




With the outbreak of World War II, in 1939, the Bunins settled in the south of France, in Grasse, at the Villa Jeannette, where they spent the entire war. The writer closely followed the events in Russia, refusing any form of cooperation with the Nazi occupation authorities.




Living in poverty, he stopped publishing his works, being much and seriously ill, he nevertheless wrote a book of memoirs in recent years, worked on the book "About Chekhov", published posthumously (1955) in New York.


At two o'clock in the morning from November 7 to 8, 1953, Ivan Alekseevich Bunin died. He was buried in the Russian cemetery of Saint-Genevieve-des-Bois, near Paris.



"Memory" I.A. Bunin.

You are a thought, you are a dream. Through the smoky blizzard Crosses are running - outstretched hands. I listen to the pensive spruce - A melodious ringing... Everything is just a thought and sounds! What lies in the grave, are you? Parting, sadness was marked Your hard way. Now they are gone. Crosses They keep only ashes. Now you are a thought. You are eternal.
