Early English translation of four of Russian Nobel laureate Bunin's short stories: "The Gentleman From San Francisco," "Gentle Breathing," "Kasimir Stanislavovitch," and "Son." One of approximately one thousand copies printed by Leonard and Virginia Woolf. "What were the feelings, what were the thoughts of the Gentleman from San Francisco on that evening so significant to him? He felt nothing exceptional, since unfortunately everything on this earth is too simple in appearance. Even had he felt something imminent in his soul, all the same he would have reasoned that, whatever it might be, it could not take place immediately." A near-fine copy.
