inspired "Sympathy for the Devil"Finally getting to it now that Veronica is spending the summer learning Russian.*** Ban the book; build the buzz. Had it not been suppressed for forty years it wouldn't have become internationally famous. It's a bit of a mess. There's the love story of the Master...
One hot summer afternoon the devil and his entourage comes to Moscov and wreaks havoc among the literary and artistic upper class. That is the main premise of The Master and Margarita and this book has been an enjoyable tour de force of weirdness. It´s surreal and crazy and incredibly dark in its ...
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov doesn't lend itself to summary, it throws a lot at the reader and keeps you off balance. A summary would probably be more confusing than anything else. Depending on what you have seen or heard, the devil is involved and a cat somehow plays a significant r...
Premier classique russe que je lis, et magnifique découverte. L'histoire est entêtante, puissante, emplie de mystères et de secrets, le texte projette des images plein la tête avec virtuosité. Le côté fantastique de l'histoire est extrêmement bien amené, avec beaucoup d'humour, toujours bien maîtris...

Don't know why it took me ages to get through, it was absolutely amazing.Firstly, the writing style was my cup of tea, especially plotwise, Bulgakov heavily relied on absurdity and it was mind-blowing. The story itself was such fun and at the same time extremely cha...
Đavo (u inostranom odelu, što je ruskom čoveku onog doba bilo primamljivo koliko i Faustu Mefistov šešir s perjem) dolazi u Rusiju da dokaže postojanje Boga. Predstavlja se kao istoričar (bavi se istorijom, što će reći storijama, što će reći pričama) što ga, po logici čitanja posle ponoći, u vezu do...
I adored this more than words can say: funny, poignant, whackily imaginative... Written by Bulgakov from 1928 to 1940, a first draft had been completed at the time of his death, but he was still in the process of editing it. Just the act of writing it was an act of courage and faith--because he knew...
Let me begin by saying that I absolutely loved this book. For some reason (primarily relating to Easter Slavic naming customs), I can get inordinately lost and confused with Russian literature (I was fairly confident that Doctor Zhivago's notes let me in on a lot of the nuances that may have been lo...
