Ivan Bunin

1870 - 1953
Ivan Bunin

­Ivan Bunin was the first Russian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (1933) for his work “The Accursed Days”, depicting an aristocrat's view of the harsh realities of the Soviet state after the Bolshevik Revolution. By that time he had already emigrated to Europe, as he did not see himself as compatible with Russia after the Revolution.

His enormous literary talent extended beyond writing – Bunin has also left a rich heritage of translation of the works of Longfellow, Byron, Tennyson, and Musset.
