Cursed Days

Style and Technique

«Cursed Days» by Ivan Bunin consists of diary entries, giving the work a documentary character. Bunin's style is marked by conciseness and precision, using expressive and succinct phrases to convey atmosphere and emotions. The language of the work is rich and varied, with the author skillfully employing archaisms and dialects, adding historical depth to the text. Literary devices include metaphors, epithets, and symbolism, which help convey the tragedy and drama of the events. The narrative structure is fragmented, reflecting the chaos and uncertainty of the time Bunin writes about. Each fragment is a separate sketch, but together they create a comprehensive picture of the era.
