Notes on a Cuff and Other Stories

Opis produktu:

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`.
