He shares his love-hate relationships with Maxim Gorky, Alexei Tolstoy, and Alexander Kuprin. In addition, Marullo's translation reveals Bunin's hatred of avant-gardists, particularly Vladimir Mayakovsky, as well as his thoughts and experiences on war, revolution, and exile. Bunin's work led, in the end, to his bittersweet reception of the Nobel Prize in Literature (1933) in Stockholm, making him the first Russian and the first writer in exile ever to receive this award. \u003ci\u003eRecollections\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the author's feelings toward this unprecedented event. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBunin's \u003ci\u003eRecollections\u003c\/i\u003e stands not only as a stark summa of his passage through literature and life but also as an equally bold apologia as to his place in both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas Gaiton Marullo is Professor of Russian and Russian Literature at the University of Notre Dame.
