Description
Mikhail Bulgakov's devastating satire of Soviet life was written during the darkest period of Stalin's regime.

I first read Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita on a balcony of the Hotel Metropole in Saigon on three summer evenings in 1971. The tropical air was heavy and full of the smells of cordite and motorcycle exhaust and rotting fish and wood-fire stoves, and the horizon flared ambiguously, perhaps from heat lightning, perhaps from bombs. Later each night, as was my custom, I would wander out into the steamy back alleys of the city, where no one...

No existe ninguna obra comparable a El maestro y Margarita. Una tarde de primavera, el Diablo sale de las sombras hacia Moscú arrastrando el fuego y el caos con él. La sátira fantástica, divertida y devastadora de la vida soviética que nos brinda Bulgákov se combina en dos partes distintas pero entrelazadas: una ambientada en el Moscú de los años treinta del siglo XX y otra en la antigua Judea del siglo I, cada una llena de personajes históricos,...

Description
Estas nueve narraciones muestran el nacimiento de la mente de un novelista, y son la materia prima que alimentó el surrealismo de la ficción posterior de Bulgákov. Cuando aún no se había secado la tinta de su diploma, a los veinticuatro años, el doctor Bulgákov, licenciado cum laude en la Universidad de Kiev y especializado en enfermedades venéreas e infecciosas, fue enviado a los desiertos helados de la Rusia rural, que en 1916-1917 carecían...
