Cupa vieţii
Povestirile si nuvelele, foiletoanele si schitele din prezentul volum descriu o lume „nebuna”, agitata, haotica, nesigura, unde agresorul poate deveni usor victima, o lume plina de confruntari, cind comice, cind tragice, o lume halucinanta, surprinsa la un moment de rascruce si trecuta prin filtrul uneia dintre cele mai curate si cutezatoare constiinte ale epocii. O remarca aparte pentru umorul bulgakovian: capacitatea de a ride, de a te autoironiza in ceasul de cumpana capata la acest inconfundabil prozator un potential terapeutic, poate chiar salvator. Risul pe care il daruieste Bulgakov cu atita generozitate nu batjocoreste, nu distruge, nu umileste, ci, dimpotriva, este tonic, chiar o solutie de supravietuire.

About the author
Mikhail Bulgakov
757 books8,104 followersMikhail 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.

Ironie, umor, satiră, tragism și o mulțime de tipologii ale personajelor. Totuși, nu am reușit să termin toate povestirile pentru că m-am simțit ținută la ușă și nu am putut înțelege toate tâlcurile de acolo. Nu poți intra cu adevărat în povești decât dacă ai o cel puțin vagă cultură generală despre Rusia de la acea vreme.
