MIKHAIL BULGAKOV
Russian physician, playwright and author (1891 - 1940)
|
One hot spring evening, just as the sun was going down, two men
appeared at Patriarch's ponds. One of them--fortyish, wearing a
gray summer suit--was short, dark-haired, bald on top, paunchy,
and held his proper fedora in his hand; black horn-rimmed glasses
of supernatural proportions adorned his well-shaven face. The
other one--a broad-shouldered, reddish-haired, shaggy young man
with a checked cap cocked on the back of his head--was wearing a
cowboy shirt, crumpled white trousers, and black sneakers.
