For literature lovers and Bulgakov fans seeking depth

Reveals the struggles of a writer under a totalitarian regime

You will gain insight into the complexities of art and integrity

This biography explores Mikhail Bulgakov's life and works amidst Soviet challenges.

When it was published this was the full, post-glasnost critical biography of Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940), a great comic writer whose works are regarded as modern classics. This account of Bulgakov's career as playwright and prose-writer examines all his works in the context of the changing demands put upon artists in the Soviet Union of the 1920s and 1930s, who were faced with the choice of integrity at the price of silence, or publication and production at the price of conformty with the totalitarian state. Lesley Milne traces through Bulgakov's career an ethical concept of the writer's role, his response to his time, and his search for an audience in and beyond that time.
