A review of the impact of Qurʹanic and the Eastern concepts on Ivan Buninʹs poetry

This paper is an attempt to deal with Ivan Buninʹs biography and literary personality. Furthermore, it tries to point out that certain historical events have had impact on his literary creation. Concerning the Russian Revolution of October 1917 Ivan Buninʹs personal and literary life can be divided into two periods: Pre- October 1917 and Post-October 1917 which is the period of immigration. It is worth mentioning that during 1894-1895, when he got acquainted with Leon Tolstoy, Anton Chekhov, Couperin, Kalinka and Gorki are considered the years of changes in Buninʹs literary life. The motifs of most of his works in the first period are the events occurring outside the Russia. But at the time of immigration, almost, the subjects of all his works are Russia and the events resulting form the Russian October Revolution. Bunin, the poet, prose writer and translator was eagerly interested in taking trips. His presence in the Islamic countries, his familiarity with Qu-ran, Islamic culture and history made a great impression on him such that he created many poems under the impression of those trips. Those works are a rich and everlasting outcome for the Russian and the World literature. Under the impression of Qu-ranic verses and the eastern concepts, he has made poems. The motifs of those poems indicate his specific respect towards Islam, the holy prophet and Islamic nation. In those poems, Bunin calls the Islamic nation to struggle against self and strange enemies. Maintaining their human perfections, he requests them not to surrender to the foreigners who do not have a superior position.
