Russian writer (1870–1953) best known for his poems and stories, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1933. Rare ALS in French, signed “Ivan Bounine,” one page, 8.75 x 11, May 24, 1925. In full (translated): “Mr. Boris de Schloetzer has told me he has sent you the manuscript of my novel ‘The Martyr’ and that you have the intention of publishing it. I need to know your final decision and your offer.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, moderate toning to borders from adhesive remnants to reverse, office stamps and notations, and a few small repaired edge tears. ‘The Martyr’ does not figure among the published works of Burin and may have been published later under another title. Bunin is among the rarest winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature, especially in this format. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
