This chapter focuses on Ivan Bunin's admiration for Leo Tolstoy. Bunin admired Tolstoy almost from childhood, especially since his father often laughed telling them about how some of the gentry neighbors read War and Peace separately. Writers then become a special kind of being for who he had ineffable feelings for. When Bunin decided to be a writer, life in the world of poetry and prose became his second existence. The chapter elaborates on how Bunin met Tolstoy himself several times before meeting Tolstoy for the last time with an aged and unhappy face. It cites how Tolstoy was familiar with Bunin's father.
