Morphine

Book name: Morphine Author: Mikhail Bulgakov Publisher: Al-Rafidain for Printing and Publishing Book category: Novel Number of pages: 86 About the book: A novel based on strange real events, a doctor whose difficult circumstances lead him to addiction and the resulting disastrous consequences. The novel reveals the remarkable ability of the author to depict the lives of addicts and the detailed intricacies of the disorder surrounding them, and Bulgakov presents through a personal experience a kind of personal impression of wars and what catastrophic results they can produce on society and the individual at the same time, as well as vividly depicting his life in the countryside and an illness he contracted due to contact with patients which had a clear impact on his entire life. It is a personal story but could happen anywhere around us, a focused story but the kind of focus that makes the fleeting moment part of eternity.
