As most secondary literature on the autobiography confuses the relationship between author, narrator, and hero/heroine, this study begins by analyzing this problem. Ivan Bunin's The Life of Arsen'ev can be best characterized as «autobiography as the creation of fiction, told exclusively from a grown-up perspective». Special attention is paid to the relationship between the childlike-hero, grown-up hero/heroine, and the narrator, to the extent that the fictional narrative is based on primary material from Bunin's life.

The Author: Alexander F. Zweers is a Professor at the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada). He received his Ph.D. in Russian Literature from the University of Groningen (Holland). In further publications, he analyzed various narrative techniques concerning the relationship between narrator and hero/heroine.
