1912 novella by Ivan Bunin
Dry Valley (Russian: Суходол, romanized: Sukhodo′l) is a short novel by a Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Ivan Bunin, first published in the April 1912 issue of the Saint Petersburg Vestnik Evropy magazine.[1] Having come out soon after The Village (1910), it is usually linked to the latter as the author's second major book concerning the bleak state of Russia as a whole and its rural community in particular.[2] It is also regarded as the last in Bunin's early 1900s cycle of "gentry elegies".[1] The novel was filmed in 2011, directed by Aleksandra Strelyanaya.[3]
