About the Author
Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov (1891–1940) was a Russian writer, playwright, and physician whose sharp wit and satirical lens captured the absurdities of Soviet life and human nature. Born in Kiev, he initially practiced medicine before turning to literature, where his works often blended dark humor, fantasy, and social critique. Despite facing censorship and suppression during his lifetime, Bulgakov's innovative storytelling and vivid portrayals of moral dilemmas have cemented his legacy as a cornerstone of 20th-century Russian literature. His novella 'Morphine (New Directions Pearls),' drawn from personal experiences, explores addiction and despair, while his contributions to 'Классика русского рассказа № 2: Классика русского рассказа 2' showcase his mastery of the short story form, influencing generations of readers and writers alike.
