Graham Hettlinger's brilliant translations of Bunin's stories in Sunstroke (2002) were widely acclaimed. In The Elagin Affair, Mr. Hettlinger continues to acquaint English-language readers with a Bunin they may not have appreciated. Bunin's sensual, elaborate, and highly rhythmic prose has proven deeply resistant to earlier translations. In these new stories, Mr. Hettlinger captures both the music and the grace, as well as the literal meaning, of Bunin's renowned prose. The Elagin Affair contains three of the author's greatest novellas, the title piece, "Mitya's Love," and "Sukhodol" as well as a broad range of stories written between 1900 and 1940 and centered on themes of love, loss, and the Russian landscape, including several of Bunin's most haunting stories from his final collection, Dark Avenues.

媒体评价/Review

"Bunin is, unaccountably, the least translated of the great Russian writers (and his best work ranks with that of Turgenev and Chekhov). This splendid volume takes an important step toward righting a long-standing wrong."―Kirkus Reviews

"Graham Hettlinger's new translation...gives us a Bunin startling in his vividness, sensuality, and restraint."―Virginia Quarterly Review

"Vibrant...a fine introduction to Bunin's work and a reminder of its importance."―New York Sun

作者简介/Author

蒲宁（1870-1953）出生在一个破落的贵族家庭。他的童年和少年时代是在祖传的地主庄园里度过的。由于家道中落，他15岁就辍学，19岁外出谋生。

1887年，他开始发表诗作，1901年因诗集《落叶》获普希金奖。他从90年代起致力于小说创作，他的主要成就在中短篇小说上。早期比较重要的作品有：《乡村》(1910)、《苏霍多尔》(1911)、《伊格纳特》（1912）、《扎哈尔·沃罗毕约夫》（1912）、《旧金山来的绅土》（1915）等。这一时期，他的创作从不同角度表现了俄国的社会生活，主题深刻，风格独特。 蒲宁对十月革命不理解，1920年起侨居法国。在那里，他仍创作了近200篇中、短篇小说，较重要的有《暗径》、《大乌鸦》等，其基本主题是死亡和爱情。1930年发表自传体长篇小说《阿尔谢尼耶夫的一生》，1933年获诺贝尔文学奖金。

A critically acclaimed poet and translator as well as prose writer, he received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1933. Today he remains one of Russia's most cherished authors. Graham Hettlinger lives in Bethesda, Maryland.
