Russian Russian poet Ivan Alekseevich Bunin (1870-1953) was an impeccable master of Russian prose, the first Russian Nobel Prize winner (1933).The story "The Gentleman from San Francisco" is a parable that tells about the insignificance of wealth and power in the face of death. At the center of the story is an American millionaire — we will never know his name until the end of the story. He decided to arrange a vacation for himself and goes on a steamer to Italy with his family. Will his dreams come true? Or will fate decide to have its own way?Russian Russian novels and short stories about the psychology of the Russian people, the passing life of noble estates, the mores of the Russian countryside and, of course, love are also included in the collection. Love in Bunin's works always ends in loss. Only moments of love are possible — and the inevitable devastating fall when idealistic youthful ideas are shattered when faced with real life.
