Bright Collection of Bulgakov (4 books: The Master and Margarita, Morphine. Stories and Tales, Heart of a Dog, The White Guard)

The bright collection of the brightest Russian satirist of the first half of the 20th century, Mikhail Bulgakov!

«The Master and Margarita»
The great and eternal novel of the writer has undergone numerous bans on publication and persecutions, no less than the... novel about Pontius Pilate by the Master himself. It was first published in 1966 with omissions in a magazine version, while the full text of the novel was not published until the 1980s. Before its official publication, it circulated in hand-reprinted copies and immediately gained incredible popularity and love from readers. A fantastic satire on the life and morals of Moscow in the 30s, simultaneously a poignant love story of the Master and Margarita, and the eternal biblical theme of the struggle between good and evil, a novel about Pontius Pilate within the novel — these are by no means all the layers of this genius work by Mikhail Bulgakov.

«Morphine. Stories and Tales»
A young doctor who became addicted to morphine doses turns into a patient. Bulgakov managed to frighteningly detail the sensations of a morphinist, the depth of despair, and the endless hope for liberation from a destructive dependency. The stories are largely based on Bulgakov's experience working as a doctor in a rural hospital, where the future writer, conducting complex surgeries, tries to understand his life's purpose.
You have before you a unique collection by Mikhail Bulgakov that reveals an important yet not widely known side of the author's life.

«Heart of a Dog»
«Heart of a Dog» — one of the most famous and memorable works of Mikhail Bulgakov. With unmatched sarcasm and humor, Bulgakov described the unprecedented risky experiment of Professor Preobrazhensky in transforming a dog into a human, creating a magnificent parody of the paradoxical environment of Soviet Russia in the 30s. The cruel experiment to create a new «breed» of humans shows that one cannot experiment with nature without consequences and change God's Providence for political goals. The progeny of such experiments are capable of destroying their creators.
Also included in the collection are other satirical works: «Crimson Island», «Diabolical», «Fatal Eggs».

«The White Guard»
Mikhail Bulgakov wrote about the intelligentsia he knew and felt. «The White Guard» — an autobiographical novel and at the same time a captivating narrative about the fate of the intelligentsia in Russia after the revolution.
The literary legacy of Mikhail Bulgakov survived the death of Soviet literature without losses and is now read as a continuation of the «golden fund» of Russian classical literature of the 19th century.
