Sobre este e-book

In this collection of short stories, drawing heavily from the author's own experiences as a medical graduate on the eve of the Russian Revolution, Bulgakov describes a young doctor's turbulent and often brutal introduction to his practice in the backward village of Muryovo. Using a sharply realistic and humorous style, Bulgakov reveals his doubts about his own competence and the immense burden of responsibility, as he deals with a superstitious and poorly educated people struggling to enter the modern age. This acclaimed collection contains some of Bulgakov's most personal and insightful observations on youth, isolation and progress. This edition also includes the famous piece 'Morphine' by Bulgakov.

Classificações e resenhas

Narrativa rápida, recheada de estratagemas que envolvem o leitor e deixam a cada página um "gosto de quero mais". Um verdadeiro recorte de uma época. Uma viagem repleta de referências que ora acena com a crueza, ora acena com o riso, beirando quase o escárnio. Imperdível.
