In this collection of short stories, drawing heavily from the
author's own experiences as a medical graduate on the eve of the
Russian Revolution, Bulgakov describes a young doctor's turbulent
and often brutal introduction to his practice in the backward
village of Muryovo. Using a sharply realistic and humorous style,
Bulgakov reveals his doubts about his own competence and the
immense burden of responsibility, as he deals with a superstitious
and poorly educated people struggling to enter the modern age. This
acclaimed collection contains some of Bulgakov's most personal and
insightful observations on youth, isolation and progress.
