Books by Mikhail Bulgakov

Mikhail Bulgakov (1891–1940) was a Russian novelist, playwright, and physician who spent most of his adult life under Soviet censorship, watching his plays pulled from production and his prose refused publication. He wrote The Master and Margarita between 1928 and 1940, revising it repeatedly, and died without seeing it published. His other works include the novel The White Guard, the play The Days of the Turbins, and a biographical novel about Molière. After his death his wife hid the manuscript, which finally appeared in a censored Soviet literary journal in 1966–67 and in full text abroad in 1967.
