One protagonist of three short stories by Ivan Bunin

Abstract

The paper of Yelena Kapinos One Protagonist of Three Short Stories by Ivan Bunin analyzes three short stories by Ivan Bunin (Grammar of Love, A Winter Dream and In a Never- Never Land). The stories are connected through the same recurring protagonist, Ivlev, who functions as a “mediator” between the world of the characters and that of the author. The three texts are structured as a kaleidoscope of similar motifs, details and narrative techniques that reveal the key elements of Bunin's poetic universe.
