At the Table with Bulgakov: The Spirit of the Times in the Works and Cookbooks of the Great Master. Cuisine at the Crossroads between Imperial and Soviet Russia
14.99 €
Bulgakov's fate "sews" the rift between two eras, between imperial Russia and Soviet Russia. The value of Mikhail Afanasyevich's work is not that he was a chronicler of his time, but that he wrote for all times. His works are broken down into quotations, and many of them are culinary: "Sturgeon of the second freshness", "Do not read Soviet newspapers before dinner", "The housekeeper made vodka" ... Bulgakov's works help to understand the complex and contradictory time in which he lived. And documents of that time, sometimes having nothing to do with Bulgakov's work, for example, cookbooks, help to understand his works, to immerse oneself in their atmosphere. Bulgakov was an aesthete and a connoisseur of gastronomic masterpieces. He was attracted to satirical and fantastic plots, he, as easily as Gogol, turned everyday life into a phantasmagoria, revealing its absurdity. And at the same time he was a singer of the high joys of creativity and love, a friendly family gathering at one table. And about what was served at the table in those days, read in this amazingly interesting book.
