The Village
ISBN: 9781847492838 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The Village, Ivan Bunin s first full-length novel, is a bleak and uncompromising portrayal of rural life in south-west Russia. Set at the time of the 1905 Revolution and centring on episodes in the lives of a landowner and his self-educated peasant brother, the book follows characters sunk so far below the average of intelligence as to be scarcely human. A triumph of bitter realism, Bunin s cruel, lyrical prose reveals the pettiness, violence and ignorance of life on the land, foreshadowing the turbulences of Russia in the twentieth century."
