Full of intrigues, mysteries and secrets, the theater world living by its own laws has never been shown so ironically and frankly as in Mikhail Bulgakov's novel "Notes of the Dead"! The author opens the doors to the holy of holies of the theater - behind the scenes, where serious passions boil, where comedies and dramas unfold, burrow more exciting than on stage. This novel has a lot of personal experience of Bulgakov himself, who dreamed of fame as a playwright in his youth and achieved it after many difficult trials.
