The Grammar of Love

Ivan Bunin received the 1933 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the strict artistry with which he has carried on the classical Russian traditions in prose writing.” Aristocrat to the core, Bunin somehow remained connected to the land and people and keenly felt their pulse of life. His acute observations resulted in the accurate and unforgettable characters who populated his writing.

His love for punctuation and punctilious choice of words is legendary.

Reading Bunin's stories is one of the best ways to understand the mysterious Russian soul and begin to understand one of Russia’s greatest periods of literature.

The story "The Grammar of Love" shows that even in our time there are such miracles when a person can associate his destiny with someone for all. And even having lost the object of their passion, still does not cease to love and read only one person. Very few people are capable of such feelings.
