About the book: 2009 / Bunin - a fragment of the great tradition - was one of the first in the "Iron" age to find an artistic response to the time of indifference and lawlessness. Lost in the turmoil between the formidable currents of friends and enemies, it stood as a lonely peak, almost “icy” in appearance, but inside ready to turn into a volcano. The book continues the series of documentary stories about Russian writers of the 19th-20th centuries.
