Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov, 2016
In Bulgakov's early satirical story "Diaboliad," office clerk Korotkov faces dismissal for a minor error and navigates the surreal labyrinth of Soviet bureaucracy in pursuit of his superior. This 1924 work, reminiscent of Gogol and Dostoevsky, offers a fascinating glimpse into the author's artistic development. The volume includes three additional stories that delve into the absurd and bizarre, providing insight into the mind behind "The Master and Margarita." These narratives explore the challenges and absurdities of the early Soviet era.
