Product Description
From Library Journal
This book translates several of Bulgakov's early short stories and feuilletons for the first time. They effectively present Bulgakov's personal struggle with the idiocies of Moscow's bureaucracy, including the morning he went to work only to discover that his office had simply disappeared overnight! In diverse feature articles written for Russian emigres in Berlin, Bulgakov offers a personal look at post-revolutionary Russia. For instance, he writes both about a friend who shrewdly "remodels" his apartment to befuddle the new Soviet housing authorities and reports the trial of a mass murderer: a cab-driver who kills peasant horse traders for a living. His vivid and often humorous sketches of 1920s Moscow bring this era to life. Capably translated, these stories are recommended for most libraries.
