A new translation of Nobel Prizeâ€“winner Ivan Bunin's first novel
Â
Set during the 1905 Revolution in southwest Russia, this is a bleak and uncompromising portrayal of the lives of two peasant brothers, â€œcharacters sunk so far below the average of intelligence as to be scarcely human.â€ With brutal honesty it reveals the pettiness, violence, and ignorance of rural farm life. At once nostalgic for a bygone, more innocent age and foreshadowing the turbulences of the 20th century, this wrenching novel is a triumph of bitter realism.
