Mikhail Bulgakov was born in Kyiv, Russian Empire (today Ukraine) on May 15 1891. He studied and briefly practised medicine and, after indigent wanderings through revolutionary Russia and the Caucasus, he settled in Moscow in 1921. His sympathetic portrayal of White characters in his stories, in the plays The Days of the Turbins (The White Guard), which enjoyed great success at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1926, and Flight (1927), and his satirical treatment of the officials of the New Economic Plan, led to growing criticism, which became violent after the play The Purple Island. His later works treat the subject of the artist and the tyrant under the guise of historical characters, with plays such as Molière, staged in 1936, Don Quixote, staged in 1940, and Pushkin, staged in 1943. He also wrote a brilliant biography, highly original in form, of his literary hero, Molière, but The Master and Margarita, a fantasy novel about the devil and his henchmen set in modern Moscow, is generally considered his masterpiece. Fame, at home and abroad, was not to come until a quarter of a century after his death in Moscow in 1940.
The first complete, annotated English Translation of Mikhail Bulgakov's comic masterpiece.
An audacious revision of the stories of Faust and Pontius Pilate, The Master and Margarita is recognized as one of the essential classics of modern Russian literature. The novel's vision of Soviet life in the 1930s is so ferociously accurate that it could not be published during its author's lifetime and appeared only in a censored edition in the 1960s. Its truths are so enduring that its language has become part of the common Russian speech.
One hot spring, the devil arrives in Moscow, accompanied by a retinue that includes a beautiful naked witch and an immense talking black cat with a fondness for chess and vodka. The visitors quickly wreak havoc in a city that refuses to believe in either God or Satan. But they also bring peace to two unhappy Muscovites: one is the Master, a writer pilloried for daring to write a novel about Christ and Pontius Pilate; the other is Margarita, who loves the Master so deeply that she is willing literally to go to hell for him. What ensues is a novel of in exhaustible energy, humor, and philosophical depth, a work whose nuances emerge for the first time in Diana Burgin's and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor's splendid English version.

相比小资电影和流行小说那一多百条的评论,这种外国文学经典的评论真是少的可怜,而且即使有,也总让人觉得有些不着调. 看了楼下的评论,居然说<大师和玛格丽特>以YY止,第一反应是想笑,再一转念就是想哭了. 小说的题目是"大师和玛格丽特",虽不能说主人公是大师,因为他确实很晚才出...
评分译者王男栿,网络上没有他的简介资料,书中对其也没作介绍。从译文风格来看,王不像新手译者。小说的内容就无需赘言。现就本人在阅读过程中遇到的译文问题及个人看法,按页数顺序列示如下: 1. 第30页倒数第6行 ”点上灯……”彼拉多咬牙切齿,眼睛闪烁着光芒,用和疑犯相同的...
评分大师无疑是大师,玛格丽特无疑也是玛格丽特,那么帕休斯-彼拉多是谁? 一个权力者。 一个执行者。 ——他可以下令处决耶稣基督。 一个罪人。 一个凶手。 ——他下令处决耶稣基督。 一个软弱者。 一个可怜人。 ——他只能下令处决耶稣基督。 但他是髑髅地的帕休斯-彼拉多,而...
评分永世之作,不能毁弃 ——谈《大师和玛格丽特》 西门媚/文 (首发于腾讯·大家专栏) 很难相信《大师与玛格丽特》写于上世纪二十年代苏联。小说呈现出复杂先锋的叙事结构,情节设置重重叠叠,现实与魔幻交相辉映。就算放在当代作品中,它都仍是一部充满实验精神的伟大杰作。 ...
评分我想,布尔加科夫在烧毁《大师与玛格丽特》手稿时的心情,应该和小说中大师烧毁倾注他全部心血和热情却不允许被出版的小说手稿时的心情一样,绝望、恐惧、暴躁、无奈又疯狂。不同的是,大师住进了疯人院,而布尔加科夫选择了重写《大师与玛格丽特》(又名《撒旦狂舞》)...
