Konstantin Georgiyevich Paustovsky was a Russian writer nominated for the Nobel Prize for literature in 1965, 1966,1967,1968.
Paustovsky began writing while still in Gymnasium. His first works were imitative poetry but he restricted his writing to prose after Ivan Bunin wrote in a letter to him: “I think that your sphere, your real poetry, is prose. It is here, if you are determined enough, that I am sure you can achieve something significant.”
