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 The novel's vision of Soviet life in the 1930s is so ferociously accurate that it could not be published during its author's lifetime and appeared only in a censored edition in the 1960s.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

评分人连今晚的事都无法笃定,又如何掌握得了自己的命运?──撒旦 《大师与玛格丽特》这本荒诞不经的魔幻现实主义巨作,居然能在暴君斯大林铁腕统治下的铁幕苏联产生,真真是不可思议的奇迹。因此种情况,等同于把安徒生拘到牢房里去写童话,艾伦.金斯堡押到中国来给《人民日...
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...
语言倒是不难。但宗教题材一开始读有些读不下去。看完,有的情节挺开脑洞的,深层次的意义还领会不到。
