'Antonov Apples' is one of the most famous stories by the outstanding Russian writer Ivan Alekseevich Bunin (1870–1953). The smell of apple is a symbolic image of the fading petty-bourgeois tradition of large estates, landowner life and old, pre-revolutionary Russia. I. A. Bunin is also the author of the stories 'Bird's Shadow', 'To the End of the World', 'The Island of Sirens', 'Shalyapin', 'Dawn All Night', 'His Highness' and 'Nobel Days'. One of the most prominent representatives of the Russian Abroad, Ivan Alekseevich Bunin recreated the tragic past of Russia and exalted romantic love in prose.
