Abstract

At the beginning of the century, in October 1900 - at the crossroads between the great nineteenth-century tradition of Russian realism and the birth of modernism - Ivan Bunin, then Nobel Prize 1933 for literature, published the short story Antonov Apples. In Antonov Apples the tools for the recovery and reconstruction of memory are smells, first of all the scent of apples, which reveal, well before Proust, how perfume is a vivid stimulus for memory.
