Ivan Bunin, Vasily Rozanov, Ivan Shmelev. Cursed Days. Apocalypse of Our Time. The Sun of the Dead.

Witnesses to the epochal events of 1917, when the previous established world order was collapsing, brilliant Russian writers created works of astonishing power, in which "there is such truth that you can't even call it art" (A. Solzhenitsyn).

I. Bunin's "Cursed Days" is one of the most furious and uncompromising works about the tragic events of those years. V. Rozanov's "Apocalypse of Our Time" presents the inevitability of revolutionary catastrophe as the tragic end of Russian history. And I. Shmelev's novel "The Sun of the Dead" is an epic tale of the horrors of Bolshevik terror, a chronicle of the disintegration of the world and humanity. This pain, this "lament for Russia," cannot leave anyone indifferent. Read it, "if you have the courage..." (T. Mann).
