Mikhail Bulgakov A Country Doctor's Notebook Paperback

TRANSLATED BY MICHAEL GLENNYWith the ink still wet on his diploma, the twentyfiveyearold Dr Mikhail Bulgakov was flung into the depths of rural Russia which, in 191617, was still largely unaffected by such novelties as the motor car, the telephone or electric light. How his alterego copes (or fails to cope) with the new and often appalling responsibilities of a lone doctor in a vast country practice on the eve of Revolution is described in Bulgakovs delightful blend of candid realism and imaginative exuberance. | Mikhail Bulgakov A Country Doctor's Notebook Paperback
