Russian Émigré Short Stories from Bunin to Yanovsky: £12.99, Penguin Classics -According to Vladimir Nabokov, Russian literature enjoyed a brief Golden Age from the mid-nineteenth century until 1917, whereupon it was blown apart in the chaos of revolution and civil war. With its particles settling in cities like Berlin and Paris (and some other non-European cities, like Harbin and Shanghai), it underwent a similarly brief renaissance before drifting into a prolonged but no less beautiful twilight. This newly translated collection of émigré stories features many of the most famous authors who laboured to keep Russian literature breathing after it had been uprooted and replanted on opposite sides of a continent. Famous writers like Nabokov and Ivan Bunin feature, as well as some other lesser-known writers like Sasha Chorny, and in this collection we find these writers dealing with such disparate topics as anguish, terror, joy, love and, of course, the longing for a lost Russia – what Nabokov once called the pangs of exile.
