THE GRAMMAR OF LOVE

by Ivan Bunin ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Here is a collection of unusually fine short stories by the winner of the Nobel Prize, the author of the recently translated The Well of Days and the better known story Gentleman from San Francisco. These stories all deal with the common theme of the awakening of love at unpremeditated time and place, catching the victims off-guard. For the essential flavor of the tales, read Sunstroke, the story of a chance encounter on board ship; and A Night at Sea, perhaps the most unusual story of the group. Russian -- some about cultured people, some about peasants. The market is:- all who like exceptional short stories; all who are interested in getting the feel of one of Europe's most famous writers.
