The texts presented here showcase the abilities of one of the twentieth century's finest writers, Mikhail Bulgakov. Indeed, he was a literary chameleon, able to work in an impressive variety of genres against a rapidly changing political background. The works selected here give a portrait of the artist as a chronicler of the tumultuous early years of the Soviet Union, as well as a survivor, who was able to accommodate his writing – without sacrificing any of its quality or originality – to the shifting political limits of the times. Nearly 80 years after Bulgakov’s death, the body of work he left behind continues to shine a light on the role of the artist in a controlled society.
