Review: The White Guard
Gebruikersrecensie - Paul Soychak - GoodreadsTheatrical Adaptation at the MXAT was Stalin's favorite! He then forced them to close it. Wonderful book. You'll feel with Bulgakov that you're shocked you've never heard of him. Only man who ever stood up to Stalin. My favorite writer. Volledige recensie lezen

Gebruikersrecensie - GoodreadsI like my magic realism but in small doses so this suited me far more than Bulgakov's better known Master and Margarita . So, aside from the odd dream sequence, the author sticks to the concrete ...
