At eight [in the evening] Bunin started reading his finely written story about mother and son. Mother is being starved to death, while her son, a loafer and a slacker, just drinks, then dances drunk on her grave and after that goes and lays himself upon rails and gets both his legs cut off by the train. All this, written with exceptional skills, still makes one depressed. Were listening: Kotsyubinsky, who's got an ailing heart, Tcheremnov, a tuberculosis sufferer, Zolotaryov, a man who cannot find his own self, and me, whose brain aches, not to speak of head and bones. Afterwards we were arguing a lot about the Russian people and its destiny... [15]

Dark Avenues is a collection of short stories by Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin. Written in 1937–1944, mostly in Grasse, France, the first eleven stories were published in New York City, United States, in 1943. The book's full version came out in 1946 in Paris. Dark Alleys, "the only book in the history of Russian literature devoted entirely to the concept of love," is regarded in Russia as Bunin's masterpiece. These stories are characterised by dark, erotic liaisons and love affairs that are, according to James B. Woodward, marked by a contradiction that emerges from the interaction of a love that is enamoured in sensory experiences and physicality, with a love that is a supreme, if ephemeral, "dissolution of the self."
The Village is a short novel by the Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin, written in 1909 and first published in 1910 by the Saint Petersburg magazine Sovremenny Mir under the title Novelet (Повесть). The Village caused much controversy at the time, though it was highly praised by Maxim Gorky, among others, and is now generally regarded as Bunin's first masterpiece. Composed of brief episodes set in its author's birthplace at the time of the 1905 Revolution, it tells the story of two peasant brothers, one a brute drunk, the other a gentler, more sympathetic character. Bunin's realistic portrayal of the country life jarred with the idealized picture of "unspoiled" peasants which was common for the mainstream Russian literature, and featured the characters deemed 'offensive' by many, which were "so far below the average in terms of intelligence as to be scarcely human."
The Life of Arseniev: Youth is an autobiographical novel by Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin seen by many as his most important work written in emigration. It is Bunin's only full-length novel.

"Loopy Ears" is a short story by Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin which was written in 1917 and gave his posthumous 1954 collection its title. The story was first published in the seventh issue of the Slovo anthology and remains to this day one of the most talked about Bunin's stories, being the first piece of work in Russian literature featuring a serial killer as the main character. Mark Aldanov considered the story one of Bunin's best.
"Dreams" is a novella by Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin, written in the late 1903 and first published in the first book of the Znanie (Knowledge) Saint Petersburg literary almanach in 1904, where it was coupled with another short novella, "The Golden Bottom", under the common title "Black Earth" (Чернозём). "Dreams" is generally regarded as the turning point in Bunin's literary career, marking the radical turn towards social issues prior to which he had mostly avoided.
Bird's Shadow is a collection of short stories by Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin, inspired by the tour over the Middle East he and wife Vera Muromtseva undertook in the 1900s. Written between 1907 and 1911, these stories came out as a separate edition in Paris in 1931, although most of them had appeared in the Temple of the Sun 1917 compilation. The title refers to the Huma bird; Bunin writes of the view from the Galata Tower that he can see "the entire immense land... on which fell the 'shadow of the Huma Bird' ... the commenters on Saadi explain that this is a legendary bird and that its shadow brings to anyone on which it falls majesty and immortality"
Meliton is a novella by Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin. Dated as "1900-1930" in The Complete Bunin, it was first published in the 1901 No.7 (July) issue of Saint Petersburg magazine Zhurnal Dlya Vsekh, originally under the title "Skete" (Скит). While working upon the Primal Love compilation, Bunin changed the story's title into "Meliton". In its final version the novella appeared in the July 6, 1930, No.3392 issue of the Paris-based Poslednye Novosti newspaper.

Translated by Thomas Gaiton Marullo, the book was published in English in 2007, under the title About Chekhov. The Unfinished Symphony.
