A Country Doctor`s Notebook (Uncorrected Proof) - Mikhail Bulgakov

Title: A Country Doctors Notebook

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 freezing 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 on the eve of Revolution is described in Bulgakov's delightful blend of candid realism and imaginative exuberance.
