The Extraordinary Adventures of the ...

'The Extraordinary Adventures of the Doctor' is an autobiographical work by the famous Russian writer, playwright and theater figure Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891–1940). After the mysterious disappearance of a doctor, his notebook falls into the hands of his friend, who publishes it. In my notes the doctor mentions various historical events, talks about the Petliurists, the Bolsheviks, the civil war, and how all this influenced his own life. Mikhail Bulgakov is also known as the author of 'Towel with a Rooster', 'Kyiv-City', 'Psalm', 'The Moscow Scenes', 'Journey through the Crimea', 'The Fatal Eggs', 'Egyptian Darkness', 'Khan's Fire', 'Hours of Life and Death'. Many of Mikhail Bulgakov's works were banned by Soviet censorship, and this very the fact characterizes him as a free-thinking person. His talent is admired by readers all over the world, his works have been translated into different languages and films have been made based on many of them.
