A Young Doctor's Notebook

About “A Young Doctor's Notebook”

In 1916, a 25-year-old doctor named Mikhail Bulgakov was sent to a remote part of rural Russia. He had just finished his medical training but had no experience working in the field. His assignment required him to serve a large area that lacked modern technology like motor vehicles, telephones, and electricity. These conditions made his work especially difficult. The short story collection by Mikhail Bulgakov reflects the challenges he faced during this time.
