摘      要：The article features a reconstruction of a number of key elements of the conceptual system that lay at the heart of Bunin s works written from 1889 on. Bunin s system combines cosmogony and eschatology in general and in a specific dimension: all living beings are subjected to death and to subsequent rebirth. The basic means of deploying the system include dual concepts of fasti and Faust. The principle of mirror reflection is aimed at the creation of parts identical to each other and to the Whole. The principle of metamorphosis, which is key in the Bunin s system, is also directed towards the achievement of this same effect. The significance of the threshold temporal passage in Bunin is considered. The central place of the writer himself in the system he created is shown.
