These series were inspired by writer’s own experience working as a country doctor in Nikolskoe. Seven stories are united not only by the narrator’s personality, but also by the time and place of the action. The single storyline, which connects all the stories, is the fate of a young doctor in a collision with the harsh historical reality. Bulgakov filled his short stories with different strokes, which are fragments of the medical practice for recently graduated young doctor. These fragments were able to create the whole vision of life for the intellectual hero living in a small village during the Revolution. The mosaic, multifaceted composition of works are some of the early characteristics attributed to the author.M.A. Bulgakov’s creative world“A young doctor’s notebook”intellectual heromosaickaleidoscopicinner integrity of recreated picture of lifeхудожественный мир М.А.
