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 The novel's vision of Soviet life in the 1930s is so ferociously accurate that it could not be published during its author's lifetime and appeared only in a censored edition in the 1960s.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.

《大师与玛格丽特》是布尔加科夫最著名的小说之一。昨夜一直看到凌晨两点,加今天上午继续埋头,酣畅淋漓地读完了它。 读者这样持久而强烈的兴趣证实了作者的技巧。文本中嵌套文本,故事中嵌套故事……挑战了读者对于叙事线索的接受能力。撒旦折腾莫斯科的故事以及耶路撒冷彼...
评分别逗了,人都是要死的。1940年3月10日,列宁格勒,米哈伊尔·阿法纳西耶维奇·布尔加科夫死了。与此同时一位骑士低空掠过莫斯科,旗正飘飘,马正萧萧。 大师走了,他终于不用面对哪个难以回答的问题:“哎呦,你怎么还没死?”布尔加科夫是个反动作家,以歌颂叛军曝得大名,...
评分 评分还没读完《大师与玛格丽特》的第一章,我的心情已十分激动。继续读下去,开始有手不释卷的感觉。掩卷之后,仍久久不能平静。使人激动的阅读越来越少了,这必须是一篇热情洋溢的读后感。 大师在他生命的火花燃尽之前,跳了一曲最华丽的圆舞曲,尽管脸色苍白、步点虚浮,他那憋...
评分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...
拖拖拉拉半读半听终于读完了。一大半的内容都不合口味(关于苏联“艺术家”的burlesque各种意义上都太吵了),涉及到彼拉多、Woland和大师与玛格丽特时才能提起兴趣。虽然懦怯是最糟糕的罪恶(hm, a fitting allusion)最后总算得到救赎了。Yeshua!Yeshua!以及苏联比撒旦还撒旦
