About the author

Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (Russian: Михаил Булгаков) was a Russian writer, medical doctor, and playwright. His novel The Master and Margarita , published posthumously, has been called one of the masterpieces of the 20th century.

He also wrote the novel The White Guard and the plays Ivan Vasilievich, Flight (also called The Run ), and The Days of the Turbins . He wrote mostly about the horrors of the Russian Civil War and about the fate of Russian intellectuals and officers of the Tsarist Army caught up in revolution and Civil War.

Some of his works ( Flight , all his works between the years 1922 and 1926, and others) were banned by the Soviet government, and personally by Joseph Stalin, after it was decided by them that they "glorified emigration and White generals". On the other hand, Stalin loved The Days of the Turbins (also called The Turbin Brothers ) very much and reportedly saw it at least 15 times.

How much can one little man like me can write about Bulgakov? Great Russian writer a medical doctor - the prose master. The one who created the base for most of the Russian / Soviet writers in the 20th. This book is about Bulgakov himself, him being a doctor at a very distant far location country hospital treating locals during the World War I and petlura days in south of Russia (Ukraine?). This was his short partial autobiography, but little changed, towards the good sake of story telling, the routine work of the country doctor through tough decisions he had to make during life saving surgeries. About his illness as a narcotic addict, about his pain and suffering. It’s a nice miniature of one of the most important sides of Bulgakov as a writer and maybe a human being.. I liked that it was really easy to read, I’ve done with this book in several days.. I liked everything, except that this book is more like a book with short pictures, less a romance (never supposed to be?) sometimes developed better, sometimes less.. The structure is somewhat stable, but I’m missing feelings and maybe more detailed information in scenes he decided to tell about. In general, I highly recommend if you like medical hardcore stuff, although, maybe, at some point less real :)
