Born in 1870, Ivan Bunin fled Russia soon after the Bolshevik Revolution to spend the remainder of his life in France. 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.Hettlinger's English translations of Bunin's stories contain the power of the original.

Slavic and East European Journal
“Cascading beauty and psychological luminance.... Bunin writes with shrewd intensity.”
- Donna Seaman, Booklist
A worthy addition to the archive of great Russian writers of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Kirkus
Hettlinger has rescued from antiquated and clumsy English…the works of Ivan Bunin.
- Thomas Gaiton Marullo, Moscow Times
Bunin’s real talent is for portraying the stunning blunt force of desire, in bracingly old-fashioned stories about people struck senseless by passion.
- Gregory Cowles, The New York Times
Rich and wonderfully layered.... Even better than Bunin’s most famous story ‘The Gentleman from San Francisco.'
- John Casey, Virginia Quarterly Review
Hettlinger succeeds in...bringing out elements previous translators have not been able to capture.
