This book contains five different stories by Bulgakov: Diaboliad The Fatal Eggs No. 13, the Elpit-Workers' Commune A Chinese Tale The Adventures of Chichi
This book contains five different stories by Bulgakov: Diaboliad The Fatal Eggs No. 13, the Elpit-Workers' Commune A Chinese Tale The Adventures of Chichikov I did not read the final story, as I will wait until I've read Gogol's Dead Souls before I do that. The only story I didn't like very much was No. 13, the Elpit-Workers' Commune, which I failed to appreciate: it was chaotic and not particularly interesting. The other stories, however, are great. Diaboliad is an absolutely hilarious story, a funny satire of Soviet life. It is clearly inspired by Dostoevsky's The Double , exploring a typical office clerk stuck in an insanely bureaucratic system who eventually, due to some hilariously stupid events, loses his mind. 'This is Gogol and Dostoevsky transposed from the city of St. Petersburg to the city of Moscow" (Introduction xiii). The Fatal Eggs is also funny. Here, a professor discovers a new 'ray of life' (or so it seems), but here too "irresponsible party authorities" confiscate it from the brilliant and eccentric professor, only to bungle the whole thing up in a sovkhoz (State farm): a story with giant reptiles that threaten the whole of Moscow. A Chinese Tale is a sad, sad story about a naive young Chinese man who finds himself joining the Red Army, but with no understanding of who he is fighting (for or against) and with no understanding of why. Short, but fairly powerful, and pretty sad. All in all a great collection of stories, with a very helpful and good introduction written by Julie Curtis: credit to her for that. Really on point and good introductions that don't meander needlessly are hard to come by, at least in my experience.
