''Russkoye Bogatstvo'', 1895, No.5, May. The story featured in two 1902 collections (''To The Edge of the World'' and ''The Stories'') originally as "The Fantasy Man" (Fantazyor, Фантазёр). In 1995 Gorky wrote to Anton Chekhov: "Started to read Bunin's stories. Occasionally he makes it good, but don't you feel he copies you? Фантазёр, as I see it, is written under your direct influence."〔〔The Works of Maxim Gorky, Vol.28, Moscow, 1954, P.77〕 ;1893 * News from Motherland (Vesti s Rodiny, Вести с родины). First published in ''Russkoye Bogatstvo'' magazine, Saint Petersburg, 1895, No.6, June, under the title "The Unexpected Thing" (Neozhidannost, Неожиданность). According to Vera Muromtseva-Bunina, the hero, a peasant, was a friend of Bunin in his youth, later a victim of the all-Russian famine. ("The Life of Bunin", p. 84) The reviewer of ''Obrazovanye'' (Education) magazine (1902, No.12, December) spoke highly of this story, calling it "the finest of Bunin's pieces." * In the Foreign Place (Na tchuzhoi storone, На чужой стороне).

Zverev, a statistician who invited Bunin to the settlement from which the villagers were making their journeys to the Ussuri krai. "Critics praised the story so high that... the Saint Petersburg Society of Care for the Re-settlers invited me to read a lecture. I read To the Edge of the World, of course," he wrote. The story was also included into the ''Primal Love'' collection. *The Teacher (Utchitel, Учитель). ''Novoye Slovo'', 1896, No.7, April, as "Tarantella", subtitled: "From the life of village intelligentsia". "The story is true to life and sad is its final... Bunin surely knows the Russian village well, sympathises with its people but what's most important can convey their moods without pomposity or sentimentality," ''Russkaya Mysl'' (1897, No.5, May) reviewer commented.〔 ;1895 * In the Field (V Pole, В поле).

Features an autobiographical scene: Yakov Petrovich plays guitar and sings the romance "Why are you silent and sit so quietly?.." - the way Bunin later described his father was doing. * The Sacred Mountains (Svyatyie Gory, Святые горы). The date of first publication is unknown. As "On Donets" (Na Dontse, На донце), featured in ''To the Edge of the World'' collection. Severely edited by the author, it was published as "The Sacred Mountains" by ''Poslednye Novosti'' newspaper (1930, No.3279, March 15) in Paris. * At the Dacha (Na Datche, На даче). ''To the Edge of the World'' collection, 1897. Originally titled "A Day at the Dacha". Inspired by the sudden appearance in Poltava of a large group of Tolstoyans in 1891, according to brother Yuli Bunin. Ivan Bunin in 1893 himself fell under strong influence of Lev Tolstoy's ideas and later described himself as 'a Tolstoyan'. The story has never in any magazine. It was rejected by Alexander Skabichevsky of ''Novoye Slovo'' who (in a letter dated August 27, 1896) suggested the story was 'too feullieton-like': "Several freaks are there exhibitioned, and a Tolstovian mounts above them all." Bunin thought Skabichevsky's opinion was "very spiteful and totally unjust." Later, in October of the same year, the story was refused by V.A.Goltsev of ''Russkaya Mysl''. * Velga (Велга). ''Syn Otechestva'' (newspaper), Nos. 4 and 5, January 5 and 6, 1899, subtitled "The Northern Legend" (Severnaya Legenda).
