Ivan Bunin’s late collection of short stories DARK AVENUES is the only book in the history of Russian literature devoted entirely to the concept of love. These stories characterised by dark, erotic liaisons and love affairs are regarded in Russia as Bunin’s masterpiece.
Welcome to the world of literature written in Russian language
WIEDLING LITERARY AGENCY is based in Munich and focuses – with few exceptions – on authors who write in Russian, whether they are Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians or Americans. The agency represents literature in all its diversity, but with no exception books that serve mutual understanding instead of exclusion or oppression of others. The agency feels its small share of responsibility to support and promote peaceful cultural exchange between peaceful people.
Really wanting to understand the other one means first of all listening to the other one. And in the end we also better understand ourselves.

Darya Bobyleva’s horror novel VYURKI turns out to be a good example of an action-horror thriller with an obligatory love spell… then we finally get to know where all these creatures are from, but that doesn‘t make it any easier – by this point the residents of the village are already so crazy, that they are willing to kill each other. Vyurki reads both as a parable about the current state of mind and morals in a world gone mad by all sorts of civilizational and ecological pres- sures, as well as a parable about the basic evil woven into every single human being.
«Darya Bobyleva has the talent of a sorceress in literature – she enters the dark memory of the most ordinary apartments, she senses troubles in familiar relationships, she knows the terrible secrets of average big-city families. The novel „Vyurki“ is the culmination of her mystical forays into the wrong side of everyday life.» VALERIA PUSTOVAYA
Aleksei Nikitin’s novel BAT-AMI – FROM THE FACE OF FIRE has been published in Ukrainian language by Phoenix Publishers.
BAT-AMI is not a documentary novel, but its story – inspired in part by the author‘s family history – is based on files relating to 1941-1942 secret service operations from the archives of the Ukrainian Secret Service. These sources enabled the author to tell the true story of the famous boxer Goldinov. Because the widespread theories about what happened to him – the rumours that were still circulating in Kiev after the war – have largely proven to be false, as has old Yad Vashem version of events. The descriptions of Ukraine’s complex conflicts involving an overpowering Russian brother state, the Soviet secret service, German occupation, partisans and patriotic nationalist freedom fighters cast their shadows even onto the Ukraine of today.
The novel has been chosen by Ukrainian PEN Club among the Best Books of the Year 2021.
The short story IGNAT by Ivan Bunin will be included in a new anthology about love written by the best world writers (Shakespeare, Czechow, Keret, Andersen, Joyce, Singer, Lowry, Atwood, Capote, Bunin).
The twenties of the 19th century. Greece is fighting for independence from the Ottoman Empire. The revolutionaries have many sympathizers throughout Europe who are willing to voluntarily defend the old culture and fight to preserve the old greatness. That is how they are called: Philhellenes – lovers of the Greeks.
After WINTER ROAD, his documentary novel about the last battle of the Russian Revolution (7 languages sold), Leonid Yuzefovich dedicated his talent for narrative non-fiction to another historical war where (not only) Russians were fighting on foreign territory: PHILHELLENES.
“Yuzefovich writes with subtle irony, detailed historical knowledge and a great feeling for language – a literary phenomenon!“
