Morphine (New Directions Pearls)

Morphine (New Directions Pearls)

From the author of The Master and Margarita comes this short and tragic masterpiece about drug addiction
Young Dr. Bromgard has come to a small country town to assume a new practice. No sooner has he arrived than he receives word that a colleague, Dr. Polyakov, has fallen gravely ill. Before Bromgard can go to his friendâ€™s aid, Polyakov is brought to his practice in the middle of the night with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and, barely conscious, gives Bromgard his journal before dying. What Bromgard uncovers in the entries is Polyakovâ€™s uncontrollable and merciless descent into morphine addiction â€• his first injection to ease his back pain, the thrill of the drug as it overtakes him, the looming signs of addiction, and the feverish final entries before his death.
