A Country Doctor's Notebook - Mikhail Bulgakov

By Mikhail Bulgakov

Release Date: 2016-06-01

Genre: Literary Fiction

(0 ratings)
Brilliant stories that show the growth of a novelist's mind, and the raw material that fed the wild surrealism of Bulgakov's later fiction.

With the ink still wet on his diploma, the twenty-five-year-old Dr. Mikhail Bulgakov was flung into the depths of rural Russia which, in 1916-17, was still largely unaffected by such novelties as the motor car, the telephone or electric light. How his alter-ego copes (or fails to cope) with the new and often appalling responsibilities of a lone doctor in a vast country practice β€” on the eve of Revolution β€” is described in Bulgakov's delightful blend of candid realism and imaginative exuberance.
