A much neglected literary figure, Ivan Bunin is one of Russia's major writers and ranks with Tolstoy and Chekhov at the forefront of the Russian Realists. Drawing artistic inspiration from his personal experience, these powerful, evocative stories are set in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russia of his youth, in the countries that he visited and in France, where he spent the last thirty years of his life. In the title story, for example, a family's tour of fashionable European resorts comes to an unexpected end; 'Late Hour' describes an old man's return to the little Russian town in the steppes that he has not seen since his early youth; while 'Mitya's Love' explores the darker emotional reverberations of sexual experience. Throughout his stories there is a sense of the precariousness of existence, an omnipresent awareness of the impermanence of human aspirations and achievements.

'The Gentleman from San Francisco' is a short story by the Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin. A 58-year-old American from San Francisco, having acquired a great fortune, sets off with his wife and daughter on a world tour. After a luxurious cruise, they arrive in Naples, where he is dismayed by the unusually bad winter weather and finds that the city does not meet his expectations. They then go to Capri, where he abruptly dies in the lobby of his fancy hotel, causing a stir among the rich clientele. The second half of the story is concerned with the change in the once-deferential staff's attitude towards the gentleman, and in the dehumanizing way in which his body is treated as it makes its journey out of Italy.

It's no wonder that I. A. Bunin won the Nobel Prize! Four hauntingly magnificent short stories, all but the third with death as the end. In each story, Bunin takes the human tragedy and contrasts it with beautiful nature. His detail is remarkable. The stories are all short, plots not intricate or even eventful, but he manages to make each one simply live and breathe and have being.

The Gentleman from San Francisco and Other Stories (1922) is a collection of short stories by Russian author and Nobel laureate Ivan Bunin. Published in Russian in 1915, The Gentleman from San Francisco and Other Stories was first translated to English in 1922 by D.H. Lawrence, Leonard Woolf, and Samuil Koteliansky, and was published by Virginia and Leonard Woolf's storied Hogarth Press. The title story, translated by Lawrence and Koteliansky, is among Bunin's most famous works and was considered upon publication to be the finest work of Russian literature since the deaths of Anton Chekhov and Leo Tolstoy. "The Gentleman from San Francisco" is the story of an American millionaire who travels to Italy while on a lengthy vacation with his wife and daughter. Disappointed with the weather in Naples, as well as with the rundown state of the city, the family journeys to the island of Capri where, in the lobby of their luxury hotel, the man dies. The remainder of the story captures the reaction of the hotel's wealthy clientele, as well as the indifference and hostility with which the staff treat the gentleman's body. Noted for its cold, critical tone, as well as its subtle critique of wealth and American exceptionalism, "The Gentleman from San Francisco" is a masterpiece of Russian literature and an essential work of short fiction. Included in this collection are the stories "Gentle Breathing," "Kasimir Stanislavovitch," and "Son," all of which capture the breadth and intricacy of Bunin's literary style. The Gentleman from San Francisco and Other Stories is a compact and compelling collection of stories from one of Russia's greatest writers, translated by two of the most important figures in early twentieth century English literature. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Ivan Bunin's The Gentleman from San Francisco and Other Stories is a classic of Russian literature reimagined for modern readers.
