Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891-1940) is one of the most significant Russian writers of the twentieth century. He experienced both success and disgrace, his words "manuscripts do not burn" accurately convey the tragedy of a whole period in the history of Russian literature, they have become a metaphor for true creativity. Today, when Bulgakov's works are included in the golden fund of Russian classics, it is even difficult to imagine how long they went to the readers, what a cruel harassment the writer was subjected to by the official critics. Since the late 1920s, he was practically stopped printing, was banned from publishing "Notes on the Cuffs", the reprinting of the collection of satirical stories "Devoliada", seized the manuscript of the story "Dog Heart", interrupted the publication of the novel "The White Guard", removed from the repertoire of his plays - and "Days of the Turbins", and "The Run", and "Zoykina Apartment" .... Almost a century later, all these works are a constant success with readers, interest in Bulgakov's work is not weakening. Fascinating plots ("fiction, rooted in everyday life"), vivid images, moral problems raised to a universal scale - all this makes you return to the read again and again.
