Relation To Books A Country Doctor's Notebook

Brilliant stories that show the growth of a novelist's mind, and the raw material that fed the wild surrealism of Bulgakov's later fiction.

With the ink still wet on his diploma, the twenty-five-year-old Dr. Mikhail Bulgakov was flung into the depths of freezing rural Russia which, in 1916-17, was still largely unaffected by such novelties as the motor car, the telephone or electric light. How his alter-ego copes (or fails to cope) with the new and often appalling responsibilities of a lone doctor in a vast country practice — on the eve of Revolution — is described in Bulgakov's delightful blend of candid realism and imaginative exuberance.

Notice Epithetical Books A Country Doctor's Notebook

A Young Doctor's Notebook is a wonderful suite of short stories following a recently graduated doctor as he tackles various medical conditions afflicting the peasants of Russia. That is to say the peasants within his particular domain. Each story is wonderfully sharp and pointed look at the ways in which this particular doctor tackles the issues he is confronted with, each one told from his sardonic and often flabbergasted perspective. There is a hint of irony and humour in how our narrator

Inspired by Bulgakov's experiences as a newly graduated young doctor, this is a short stories collection filled with medical accounts, confusing diagnoses and Russian peasants that know nothing and yet are stubborn. It sometimes reminded me of House m.d., the way he verbally abused his patients so that they would follow his advice.I will not lie, Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe brought my attention to this book, however the tv series A Young Doctor's Notebook approaches Bulgakov's work in a

If you watched A Young Doctor's Notebook with Daniel Radcliffe and decided to read the original stories (like me), and were expecting a rather comical representation of a Russian hospital tucked away deep in the countryside (like me), a bit of a surprise awaits you. That is, while the adaption was very enjoyable, Bulgakov's stories are even better (not that hard to believe, though). They are not particularly funny (which one would expect based on the mini-series), but there is a strong element

I tried reading "The Master and Margarita" quite a while back and had to give up because of the strange style of the author. I'm glad to say that in his short stories about a country doctor Mikhail Bulgakov prevails, at least in my eyes, as a true talent. The gritty descriptions of a doctor's life in the middle of nowhere that span the first 80% of this books are just masterfully written and so eerily enjoyable. I did not find the chapter about Morphine as enticing though and the finishing story

This is an utterly inspiring book. There is something that is so splendid about Russian authors. I don't know whether it is the awful weather, perhaps even the politics and the oppressive society but the works on the whole are excellent.I'm presuming that this book of nine short stories is autobiographical as Mikhail Bulgakov was actually a doctor but gave up the practice after four years at the age of twenty-nine to embrace a life of literature.The nine short stories are dark, chilling weather

It's actually 4.5 because it was less poetic than i expected. But i still enjoyed a lot. Aslında 4.5 çünkü beklediğimden daha duru ve sakin bir anlatımı vardı. Şahsen daha şiirsel bir anlatım beklemiştim ama yinede kitabı oldukça sevdim.
