Like many other Russian writers, he emigrated after the Revolution and never returned to his homeland; \u003ci\u003eThe Life of Arseniev\u003c\/i\u003e is the major work of his émigré period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn ways similar to Nabokov's \u003ci\u003eSpeak, Memory\u003c\/i\u003e, Bunin's novel powerfully evokes the atmosphere of Russia in the decades before the Revolution and illuminates those Russian literary and cultural traditions eradicated in the Soviet era. This first full English-language edition updates earlier translations, taking as its source the version Bunin revised in 1952, and including an introduction and annotations by Andrew Baruch Wachtel.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52656106995992,"sku":"9780810111721","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-life-of-arseniev-youth-paperback-softback-9780810111721","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
