This poem such as this author is that of poverty, ignorance, dune often sordid reality, all that can crush men maintained in a condition that they not chosen Nont and they Nont not strength, the energy of the rebellion even sils have already consciousness. It is a sharp look, and uncompromising where often beautiful phrases in their realism speak of men who live in a microcosm, this village, this place, this state, this is obvious dune can not succeed Quà a revolt. Course revolt that spreads minds without yet still give a sign of hope, but that is the source of hatred and resentment. I have been fascinated by the descriptions of men, places where odors mingle, sounds, acts, grin on their faces, shouts The best way to do justice to those that have been submitted and perverted by lexploitation, domination, it seems to me, this is good to sintroduire in their lives down to the smallest detail to enable them to rise to the surface and it can output quenfin the mire and see; such that they are! The size of the peasant, here Moujik (but not its valuation, Bunin does not look particularly like what the Russian people), this is what heavyweight existence which he, more than any other, dune spark needed to reach beyond the scope of this village. And it is true that this spark is hard to imagine after reading this What makes a poem with heartbreaking accents. But even if Bunin seems not to wish a revolution which will be strengthened by his flight from the Soviet Union and the condemnation of communism, he lets us judge for ourselves what can be life dasservi injustice dune and dopprimé and above what causes harm, as livrognerie, jealousies, hatreds, superstitions and even rape and murder ... No compassion, the state crude reality with the appropriate style, sober, lucid and dune terrifying efficiency. Bunin will Completion bottom of this humanity and dare show in one aspect against the current of the image than other Russian writers wanted to give the peasant. The courage and dignity of the peasant exist, here there are not shown but will all the more valuable quon know from where and what they had to emerge. A great book to pure realism.
