The Adventures of Chichikov

'The Adventures of Chichikov' is an entertaining story by the famous Russian writer, playwright and theater figure Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891–1940). Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov is a clever fellow. Arriving in Moscow, he moves into a hostel, easily gets a job, and by cunning manages to get himself additional food rations.
