Master And The Margarita (russian)

Bulgakovâs highly regarded work has been around for nearly a century written during the Stalin-occupied era of Soviet history. Itâs a grand work of immense literary value and a devastating satire of the Soviet way of life in which Satan is pitted against the lunacy of the Soviet Bureaucracy. The Master and Margarita is one of the great literary satires of the 21st century, written during a time of turbulence and instability under the iron hand of the Stalin soviet regime. Itâs a work that Bulgakov paid dearly for, suffering shame and humiliation from Stalinâs personal attentions (his work was deemed insulting to the Soviets). It's a work that ultimately cost him his career and ended his life in shame and disgrace. Is it a work that's worth your career and life? The answer is absolutely, yes. Master and Margarita goes beyond genre fiction and dwells solidly in the realm of world literature. Yet there is also something deeply personal about the story and it comes off as easily readable as a simple and entertaining supernatural tale. This is one of the greatest Russian classics and is widely regarded as the same in English circles. And while itâs an allegorical work, itâs a fantastic fantasy work in itâs own right and deserves to be read by those looking to sample the greatness of Russian literature.
