Summary
Mikhail Bulgakov: Morphine
Morphine can be read as a novel or as a doctor's diary. Among the great writers there were many doctors (Selin, Laza Lazarević, Čekhov, Rabelais, Schiller, Keats, Schnitzler, Remarque...). One of them was the Hungarian writer Geza Chat, in whose "Diary" the same theme as in "Morphium" is woven. Dependence on narcotics or alcohol is one of the current topics of our time, present in the novels "Moskva-Petushki", "Death rode from Persia", or "The Maniac and the Centaur Woman", which, like "Morphium", are great literary works, and at the same time confessions of people who have gone through the ordeal they write about.
