Description
Mikhail Bulgakov's life was marked by secrecy and censorship, yet his works continue to appeal to readers worldwide. This biography, written by J. A. E. Curtis, offers a fresh account of Bulgakov's life, drawing on newly available archives and historical documents. Born in Kiev in 1891, Bulgakov's idyllic childhood gave way to the turmoil of World War One, the Russian Revolution, and civil war. Curtis explores how these events shaped his determination to establish himself as a writer in Bolshevik Moscow, where he navigated three marriages and tumultuous personal life. The biography also reveals how Bulgakov struggled to defend his art under Stalin's scrutiny. Through extensive research and examination of previously little-known letters and diaries, this book provides an absorbing account of one of Russia's most inventive and exuberant novelists and playwrights.
