The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

It is not difficult to guess that the fat man with the purple physiognomy who was put in room 119 of the clinic was Nikanor Ivanovich Bosoy.

He got to Professor Stravinsky not at once, however, but after first visiting another place.1 Of this other place little remained in Nikanor Ivanovich's memory. He recalled only a desk, a bookcase and a sofa.
