Mikhail Kissine's Books

An engaging overview of imperatives and a close examination of how different theoretical traditions have tried to explain them.

This is naturalistic theory of when, how and why our utterances are interpreted as speech acts: assertions, orders or promises.

An engaging overview of imperatives and a close examination of how different theoretical traditions have tried to explain them.

Stylistically brilliant and brimming with humour and literary allusion, Notes on a Cuff is presented here in a new translation, along with a collection of other short pieces by Bulgakov, many of them - such as 'The Cockroach' and 'A Dissolute Man' - published for the first time in the English language. Written between 1920 and 1921 while Bugakov was working in a hospital in the remote Caucasian outpost of Vladikavkaz, Notes on a Cuff is a series of journalistic sketches which show the young doctor trying to embark on a literary career among the chaos of war, disease, politics and bureaucracy.

Morphine" de Mikhaïl Boulgakov (1891-1940), l'auteur de "Maître et Marguerite", raconte la progressive intoxication par la morphine d'un médecin qui finit par se suicider. Une narration si réaliste qu'on ne peut s'empêcher de penser que l'auteur n'était pas un simple observateur. Effectivement, ce récit relate très précisément son épisode de morphinomanie en 1917 quand Boulgakov, de retour du front, fut muté comme médecin de campagne près de Smolensk. Journal intime du double de l'auteur, "Morphine" est bien le joyau noir d'une oeuvre unique, tardivement reconnue. (Editore).
