"Theater novel" - a fascinating, at times funny, at times sad and tragic story about everyday life and backstage life of the most famous Russian theater of the twentieth century - Moscow Art Theater, as well as the fate of the writer and his manuscript. Who and what is not only here! This is a peculiar chronicle of the "travels" of the young author (in whom Bulgakov himself and his play "The Days of the Turbins" can be easily guessed) through the theatrical and artistic Moscow. Among the people he meets are many famous writers, theater personalities and stars of the stage of the 1930s - from Alexei Tolstoy, Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko to Olga Knipper-Chekhova and Valentin Kataev. Don't be surprised, Bulgakov is very unflattering about all these celebrities - this is his alternative view of them, but the more interesting it is. The collection also includes the unfinished story "To a Secret Friend".
