Notes on a Cuff and Other Stories - Mikhail Bulgakov [KSIĄŻKA]

Begun in 1920 while Bulgakov was employed in a hospital in the remote Caucasian outpost of Vladikavkaz, and continued when he started working for a government literary department in Moscow, Notes on a Cuff is a series of journalistic sketches which show the young doctor trying to embark on a literary career among the chaos of war, disease, politics and bureaucracy. Stylistically brilliant and brimming with humour and literary allusion, Notes on a Cuff is presented here in a new translation, along with a collection of other short pieces by Bulgakov, many of them - such as ?The Cockroach' and ?A Dissolute Man' - published for the first time in the English language. Contains: ?Notes on a Cuff', ?The Fire of the Khans', ?The Crimson Island', ?A Week of Enlightenment', ?The Unusual Adventures of a Doctor', ?Psalm', ?Moonshine Lake', ?Makar Devushkin's Story', ?A Scurvy Character', ?The Murderer', ?The Cockroach', ?A Dissolute Man'.
