Diaboliad. Fatal Eggs

The works of Mikhail Bulgakov gathered in this book are united by a common theme and can be said to have a single character from the 1920s of the 20th century. This is the collective unconscious, whose voice Bulgakov keenly captured as a columnist for metropolitan newspapers and magazines. His journalistic work allowed the prose writer to see and assess the disturbing results of the social experiment conducted by the Bolsheviks. The novellas included in this collection, "Fatal Eggs" and "Diaboliad," provide a broad political, social, and domestic panorama of the 1920s. In addition, the book features a cycle of stories "Travel Notes."
