The series of essays "Shadow of a Bird" was written in 1907-1911 as a result of Ivan Bunin's trip to the Middle East. The Bunins left Odessa, the final destination of the sea voyage was Palestine, which was reached by the traditional zigzag route for that era: Constantinople — Athens (Piraeus) — Alexandria — Jaffa. In Jaffa, they disembarked and took the train to Jerusalem. We stayed in Jerusalem for a week, then visited Bethlehem and Hebron, as well as the Dead Sea. Then the Bunins returned to Jaffa and sailed to Beirut, from where they continued their overland journey. The second part of their trip included Baalbek, Damascus, Lake Tiberias (which they traveled by boat, visiting Tiberias and Capernum), as well as Mount Tabor, Canna of Galilee and Nazareth. The series of travel diaries "Many Waters" was published in 1925-1926 based on the impressions of Bunin's trip to Ceylon in 1911. The book also includes short stories by the writer about memorable overseas places and curious people he met there.
