Michail Bulgakov
Bulgakov finished his masterpiece The Master and Margarita just before he died - well... he almost did. Some "loose ends" or antagonisms in the storyboard are showing that the author died a little too early.
But it is, by far, one of the best novels ever written. And maybe it are perhaps those imperfections which give the book its unique charm. Because, once you start reading it, you lose your strength to resist. You let it drag you into a world which lasts forever and on which Bulgakov worked for twelve years He knew how to interweave the tragics of his infested fatherland with those of his personal life as a writer who was not allowed to write. The first publication of this work in western Europa in 1966 made him world-famous in one go. Today Bulgakov is seen as one of the best Russian writers ever.
