Morphine by Mikhail Bulgakov (Farsi)

Description

Morphine is a gripping and semi-autobiographical short story that traces the descent of a young doctor into drug addiction. Through diary entries and personal reflections, Bulgakov reveals the protagonist’s gradual dependence on morphine, first used as pain relief, then spiraling into obsession and destruction. Drawing from his own past as a physician and morphine user, Bulgakov paints a haunting portrait of isolation, denial, and the seductive pull of escape. The story is both intimate and harrowing, offering a rare and brutally honest look at the psychological toll of addiction and the thin line between healing and self-destruction.
