Michail Afanasjevič Bulgakov Libros

El maestro y Margarita, que no vio la luz hasta 1966, es sin duda una de las obras maestras de la literatura del siglo XX . Moscú, 1930. Sobre la ciudad desciende Satán bajo la forma de un profesor de ciencias ocultas, y suceden prodigios que trastornan la vida de los moscovitas. Entre los afectados está Margarita, a la que Satán ofrece, a cambio de su compañía en una fiesta, la liberación de su amante, el maestro, que se encuentra en un psiquiátrico después de la mala acogida de su obra sobre Poncio Pilato (que esconde a la figura de Stalin) y Yehosua. Reseña: «Una de las grandes novelas del siglo. Un texto libérrimo, que escapa por todas sus costuras, una rebelión de la imaginación frente al corsé estalinista, un desafío.» Marcos Ordóñez, Babelia ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONNothing in the whole of literature compares with The Master and Margarita. One spring afternoon, the Devil, trailing fire and chaos in his wake, weaves himself out of the shadows and into Moscow. Mikhail Bulgakov's fantastical, funny, and devastating satire of Soviet life combines two distinct yet interwoven parts, one set in contemporary Moscow, the other in ancient Jerusalem, each brimming with historical, imaginary, frightful, and wonderful characters. Written during the darkest days of Stalin's reign, and finally published in 1966 and 1967, The Master and Margarita became a literary phenomenon, signaling artistic and spiritual freedom for Russians everywhere.

Brilliant stories that show the growth of a novelist's mind, and the raw material that fed the wild surrealism of Bulgakov's later fiction. With the ink still wet on his diploma, the twenty-five-year-old Dr. Mikhail Bulgakov was flung into the depths of rural Russia which, in 1916-17, was still largely unaffected by such novelties as the motor car, the telephone or electric light. How his alter-ego copes (or fails to cope) with the new and often appalling responsibilities of a lone doctor in a vast country practice — on the eve of Revolution — is described in Bulgakov's delightful blend of candid realism and imaginative exuberance.

Conocido generalmente por su obra magna El maestro y margarita, de Mijaíl Bulgákov pocos saben que durante su primera juventud fue médico de provincias, destinado a regiones rusas -entonces y tal vez hoy- de lo que por lo general se conoce como Ucrania; menos aún se sabe que, mientras todavía ejercía la medicina, Bulgákov fue drogadicto, consumidor habitual de morfina. Recreación literaria de aquellos días son sus Relatos de un joven médico, entre los que se encuentra Morfina, en el que el joven doctor Poliakov deja constancia escrita, en forma de diario, de las distintas fases de la adicción.

Contains the following stories: - Notes Off the Cuff- Diaboliad- The Fateful Eggs- The Heart of a Dog

Mikhail Bulgakov's stage adaptation of Don Quixote serves as a nuanced critique of Stalinist rule, cleverly disguised under the approval of Soviet censors. The introduction offers insightful context about Bulgakov's work, drawing parallels between his interpretation and Cervantes' original, while also exploring the contrasts between the two eras. This analysis enriches the reader's understanding of the adaptation's deeper themes and its place within both Russian literature and historical commentary.

Charts the life of the French playwright - Moliere - from humble beginnings to later theatrical triumphs and political controversies.

Features a wealthy Moscow surgeon Filip Preobrazhensky who implants the pituitary gland and testicles of a drunken petty criminal into the body of a stray dog. As the dog slowly transforms into a man, and man into a slovenly, lecherous government official, the doctor's life descends into chaos.

Kiev - Kyiv - is in chaos. Russia has withdrawn from World War I but the Germans have set up a puppet government in Ukraine. Civil war rages- the Bolsheviks have seized power in Russia, but the anti-revolutionary White Guard who have fled to Ukraine, are rallying to resist. In the meantime, Ukrainian nationalists are camped outside the capital, and a Red army is on its way to bring everyone to heel. While all this is going on, the Turbin family try to eke out their existence in Kyiv and discuss what they should do. They are exactly the sort of family - monarchist intelligentsia - for whom the future looks particularly menacing. Bulgakov's brilliant and evocative prose brings the city and the moment unforgettably to life and sheds some fascinating light on the complex interwoven histories of Ukraine and Russia.

This is a title in the Bristol Classical Press Russian Texts series, in Russian with English notes, vocabulary and introduction. Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940) is well-known for his novel, "The Master and Margarita", published posthumously in the 1970s. In his own life he was best known as a playwright, with plays running at several of the leading theatres in Moscow during the 1920s and 1930s. "Flight" takes as its subject the defeated Whites as they flee the Reds and emigrate to Constantinople and Paris. The play was too politically controversial to be staged in Bulgakov's lifetime. Couched in the form of eight "dreams" rather than conventional scenes, it hovers between tragedy and comedy.
