"The Devil comes to Moscow; but he isn’t all bad. Pontius Pilate sentences a charismatic leader to his death, but yearns for redemption; and a writer tries to destroy his greatest tale, but discovers that manuscripts don’t burn. Multi-layered and entrancing, blending sharp satire with glorious fantasy, The Master and Margarita is ceaselessly inventive and profoundly moving. In its imaginative freedom and raising of eternal human concerns, it is one of the world’s great novels."

The Master and Margarita

The Master and Margarita is a masterful blend of political satire, philosophical inquiry, and supernatural elements set against the backdrop of Soviet Russia. Mikhail Bulgakov critiques authoritarianism and the suppression of artistic freedom while weaving a narrative that shifts between 1930s Moscow and ancient Jerusalem. Through the enigmatic figure of Woland—the Devil in disguise—and his chaotic retinue, the novel explores the nature of good and evil, the corrupting influence of power, and the resilience of love and creativity in the face of oppression. Since its publication, The Master and Margarita has been celebrated for its rich symbolism, multi-layered narrative, and incisive social commentary. The parallel stories of the Master, a persecuted writer, and his devoted lover Margarita, alongside the philosophical trial of Pontius Pilate, create a complex meditation on justice, fate, and redemption. The novel's dark humor and fantastical elements challenge the constraints of realism, offering a timeless reflection on human nature and freedom. The novel's enduring relevance lies in its sharp critique of totalitarianism and its profound exploration of artistic integrity and moral responsibility. By intertwining the absurd with the profound, The Master and Margarita invites readers to question the boundaries between reality and illusion, illuminating the power of literature to challenge and transcend the forces that seek to suppress it.

A well-to-do professor working in Moscow strikes up an unlikely friendship with a stray dog and attempts a scientific first by transplanting the testicles and pituitary gland of a recently deceased man into the dog. With a wild, but alarmingly human animal on the loose, the professor's previously respectable life becomes a nightmare beyond his imagination. A suberp satirical novel, it is also a sharp and pointed criticism of Soviet society, especially the new rich that arose after the Bolshevik revolution.

The Heart of a Dog

"When a respected surgeon decides to transplant human body parts into a stray dog, he creates a monster – drunken, profligate, aggressive and selfish. It seems the worst aspects of the donor have been transplanted as well. As his previously well-regulated home descends into riotous chaos, the doctor realises he will have to try to reverse the operation; but the dog isn’t so keen… Wild, uproarious and deliriously comic, Bulgakov’s short novel is at once a comment on the problems of 1920s Russia and a lasting satire on human nature."

The Master and Margarita is a fantasy satirical novel published by his wife twenty-six years after his death, in 1966, that has granted him critical immortality. The book was available underground, as samizdat (“sam”+ “izdat” - “self-published”, Vladimir Bukovsky defined it as “I myself create it, edit it, censor it, publish it, distribute it, and [may] get imprisoned for it”), for many years in the Soviet Union, before the serialization of a censored version in the journal Moskva. A destroyed manuscript of the Master is an important element of the plot, and in fact Bulgakov had to rewrite the novel from memory after he burned the draft manuscript with his own hands. The novel is a multilayered critique of the Soviet society in general and its literary establishment specifically. It begins with Satan visiting Moscow in the 1920s or 30s, joining a conversation of a critic and a poet, busily debating the existence of Jesus Christ and the Devil. It then evolves into an all-embracing indictment of the corruption, greed, narrow-mindedness, and widespread paranoia of Soviet Russia. Banned but widely read, the novel firmly secured Bulgakov’s place among the pantheon of great Russian writers.

The Beer Story

Bulgakov was a Soviet playwright, novelist, and short story writer best known for his humor and penetrating satire. Because of their realism and humor, Bulgakov's works enjoyed great popularity, but their trenchant criticism of Soviet mores was increasingly unacceptable to the authorities. Bulgakov's short stories are a world unto themselves—sharp, witty, and often unsettling. In these pages, the absurdity of Soviet life collides with the supernatural, the grotesque meets the comic, and reality is always just a step away from slipping into nightmare. His prose is alive with irony, his characters caught between fate and farce. From the eerie intrigue of Seance to the biting social satire of The Beer Story, from the tragicomic twists of Shifting Accommodation to the philosophical undertones of Psalm, this collection offers a glimpse into Bulgakov's early genius. Each story is a window into the chaotic, sometimes surreal existence of the Soviet era, where bureaucracy, ideology, and human folly create a theater of the absurd. Whether mocking the rigid structures of Soviet authority or weaving in mystical elements, Bulgakov remains a master of contrast—his humor is laced with darkness, his tragedy softened by laughter. These stories, written in the 1920s and early 1930s, bear the marks of an era that sought to silence him. And yet, here they are—brilliant, subversive, and impossible to forget.

Mikhail Bulgakov. Short Stories Collection

In the Ukrainian capital Kiev (‘the City’), life has become frightening and fragile. Bulgakov’s first full-length novel is set in the harsh and chaotic winter of 1918–19, as power struggles start to play out with brutal consequences. Echoing Tolstoy’s approach in War and Peace, Bulgakov contrasts the concerns of domestic life with the wide-ranging and destructive historical events; but where Tolstoy’s structure is clear, Bulgakov interweaves narrative, details of military action, snatches of songs, dreams, dialogue and fragments of thought to capture this swirl of confusion on every level, as those caught in the middle of circumstances beyond their control try to ground themselves. Suffering, tragedy and savagery are set out unflinchingly, but the bleakness is offset by a recognition of the resilience of the human spirit, and of the qualities of loyalty and principle – all embodied by the Turbin family. The novel begins and ends with a view of the night sky: beyond the chaos, beauty is still there to see.

The White Guard

"The Embroidered Towel" is one of the most famous story from a short story collection A Young Doctor's Notebook, also known as A Country Doctor's Notebook. Translated by S.E. Torrens. In "The Embroidered Towel" by Mikhail Bulgakov the young doctor arrives at his new post after a bone-jarring 24-hour wagon ride. He frets about how young he looks, and feels intimidated by the well-stocked pharmacy and medical library his predecessor has left behind. He also worries that he'll have to treat a hernia and won't know what to do - this neurosis is a running joke in the book's initial stories.

The Embroidered Towel

The Heart of a Dog is a novella that blends science fiction with sharp social commentary. The story centers on a stray dog named Sharik, who is taken in by a scientist, Professor Preobrazhensky. The professor performs an experimental surgery on Sharik, transplanting human organs into the dog, which causes Sharik to transform into a human-like creature named Poligraf Poligrafovich Sharikov. Sharikov's transformation and subsequent behavior serve as a biting satire of the Soviet attempt to create a new socialist citizen. Sharikov becomes a crude, vulgar, and opportunistic character, embodying the worst traits of humanity. The novella explores themes of identity, the ethics of scientific experimentation, and the clash between nature and nurture.

50 Stories from Russia's Greatest Authors

Verdenskrigen er ved at være forbi. Der har været revolution i Sankt Petersborg, Kiev er besat af tyskerne, og familien Turbins medlemmer - de voksne børn, læger, officerer - forventer at vanviddet skal høre op og er mest tilbøjelige til at opfatte situatoinen surrealistisk, som en forbigående tilstand. Men udenfor byen ligger adskillige hære: bolsjevikkerne, nationalistlederen Petljura og hans bevæbnede ukrainske bønderkarle, et par anarkisthære og polske rytterarméer. Den hvide garde er romanen om det moderne kaos. Romanen rummer en klar og myldrende realisme og er samtidig en både magisk og moderne skildring af en kultur og en familie, der er gået af led og lave. "Natten bevægede sig videre. Daggryet nærmede sig, og hele huset sov, begravet under tagets hvide pelshue af sne. Den hårdt plagede Vasilisa sov mellem det kolde, let fugtige sengetøj, som han forgæves prøvede at varme op med sin spinkle krop, og han drømte en fjollet og komplet uforståelig drøm. Han drømte, at der slet ikke havde været revolution, at det bare var tankespind. Noget han havde drømt. I denne nye drøm hvilede der en tvivlsom og temmelig upålidelig følelse af lykke over ham" Fra romanen Oversat af Jan Hansen fra Belaja gvardija, Forlaget Khudozjestvennaja Literatura, Moskva 1984 Ukraine, Kiev, 1910-1919, 1920-1929, borgerkrige, familien, søskende

Den hvide garde

I mellemkrigstidens Moskva dukker Satan op i skikkelse af manden Woland. I selskab med et slæng af banditter og en skydegal kat, der går på to ben, spiller han skak, drikker champagne og infiltrerer byens kulturelle verden. En del af denne verden er Mesteren, der skriver på sin store roman om Pontius Pilatus, der lod Jesus korsfæste. Men ingen vil binde an med at udgive værket, og Mesteren ender på en galeanstalt, uden at den hemmelige kæreste, Margarita, forstår, hvad der er sket. Ved Wolands mellemkomst – han straffer forlæggerne for deres tøven – får Margarita imidlertid skaffet Mesteren oprejsning, og selv oplever hun det utrolige at blive inviteret til bal hos Satan selv. Her optræder hun som ballets under-skønne, rituelt indviede dronning og belønnes i sidste ende med at blive genforenet med Mesteren. Mesteren og Margarita er veloplagt, actionmættet, absurd og fantastisk læsning – og så rummer romanen politiske lag og et blik for det dæmoniske i samfundet, som kan få det til at gyse i enhver. Således var romanen i årtier forbudt i Sovjetunionen, fordi den ikke bare var litterært mesterlig, men også beskrev Stalintidens politiske forhold på en prik.

Mesteren og Margarita

Shifting Accommodation is a short humorous story by the famous Russian writer, playwright and theatrical personage Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891 - 1940). From the Diary of an ingenious comrade Polosukhin: November 21. Well, Moscow… What a city… Oh, I will tell you now. There are no available apartments here. Absolutely no vacant flats! I even had to send a telegram to my wife and tell her to stay home and wait for a while. I slept three nights in the bathtub at Karabuev's apartment. Well, what can I say, not that bad as it may seem, pretty comfortable, I would say, just water dripping from time to time. Then I slept two nights on a gas stove at Shchuevsky's apartment. In Yelabuga, my hometown, people say that this stove is a very convenient thing. Hell no, I say! Some screws are sticking in here and there, and the cookmaid is grumbling, obviously not happy about my sleeping there... December 23. I'm done, I'm going back to Yelabuga…

Shifting Accommodation

Le Maître et Marguerite est un roman fantastique et satirique publié par sa femme vingt-six ans après sa mort, en 1966, qui lui a conféré l'immortalité critique. Le livre a été disponible dans la clandestinité, sous forme de samizdat ("sam "+"izdat" - "auto-publié", Vladimir Boukovski le définissant comme "je le crée moi-même, je l'édite, je le censure, je le publie, je le distribue, et [je peux] être emprisonné pour cela"), pendant de nombreuses années en Union soviétique, avant la publication en série d'une version censurée dans la revue Moskva. Un manuscrit détruit du Maître est un élément important de l'intrigue, et Boulgakov a d'ailleurs dû réécrire le roman de mémoire après avoir brûlé de ses propres mains le brouillon du manuscrit. Le roman est une critique à plusieurs niveaux de la société soviétique en général et de son establishment littéraire en particulier. Il commence par une visite de Satan à Moscou dans les années 1920 ou 1930, où il se joint à la conversation d'un critique et d'un poète, occupés à débattre de l'existence de Jésus-Christ et du Diable. Il se transforme ensuite en un réquisitoire général contre la corruption, la cupidité, l'étroitesse d'esprit et la paranoïa généralisée de la Russie soviétique. Interdit mais très lu, ce roman a fermement établi la place de Boulgakov dans le panthéon des grands écrivains russes.

Le Maître et la Margarita (Traduit)

Der Meister und Margarita ist ein satirischer Fantasy-Roman, der von seiner Frau sechsundzwanzig Jahre nach seinem Tod 1966 veröffentlicht wurde und ihm kritische Unsterblichkeit verliehen hat. Das Buch war in der Sowjetunion viele Jahre lang im Untergrund als Samisdat ("sam "+ "izdat" - "selbst veröffentlicht", Wladimir Bukowski definierte es als "ich selbst schaffe es, bearbeite es, zensiere es, veröffentliche es, verbreite es und [kann] dafür ins Gefängnis kommen") erhältlich, bevor eine zensierte Fassung in der Zeitschrift Moskwa veröffentlicht wurde. Ein zerstörtes Manuskript des Meisters ist ein wichtiges Element der Handlung, und tatsächlich musste Bulgakow den Roman aus dem Gedächtnis neu schreiben, nachdem er den Entwurf des Manuskripts eigenhändig verbrannt hatte. Der Roman ist eine vielschichtige Kritik an der sowjetischen Gesellschaft im Allgemeinen und an ihrem literarischen Establishment im Besonderen. Er beginnt damit, dass Satan in den 1920er oder 30er Jahren Moskau besucht und sich in ein Gespräch zwischen einem Kritiker und einem Dichter einschaltet, die eifrig über die Existenz von Jesus Christus und dem Teufel diskutieren. Dann entwickelt er sich zu einer umfassenden Anklage gegen Korruption, Gier, Engstirnigkeit und die weit verbreitete Paranoia in Sowjetrussland. Der verbotene, aber viel gelesene Roman sicherte Bulgakow einen festen Platz im Pantheon der großen russischen Schriftsteller.

Drder Meister und Margarita (Übersetzt)

Il Maestro e Margherita è un romanzo fanta-satirico pubblicato dalla moglie ventisei anni dopo la sua morte, nel 1966, che gli ha garantito l'immortalità critica. Il libro fu disponibile clandestinamente, come samizdat ("sam "+ "izdat" - "autopubblicato", Vladimir Bukovsky lo definì come "Io stesso lo creo, lo modifico, lo censuro, lo pubblico, lo distribuisco e [posso] essere imprigionato per questo"), per molti anni nell'Unione Sovietica, prima della serializzazione di una versione censurata nella rivista Moskva. Un manoscritto distrutto del Maestro è un elemento importante della trama, e infatti Bulgakov ha dovuto riscrivere il romanzo a memoria dopo aver bruciato la bozza del manoscritto con le sue stesse mani. Il romanzo è una critica a più livelli della società sovietica in generale e del suo establishment letterario in particolare. Inizia con Satana che visita Mosca negli anni Venti o Trenta e si unisce alla conversazione di un critico e di un poeta, impegnati a discutere dell'esistenza di Gesù Cristo e del Diavolo. Il romanzo si evolve poi in un'accusa a tutto campo della corruzione, dell'avidità, della ristrettezza di vedute e della paranoia diffusa della Russia sovietica. Vietato ma molto letto, il romanzo ha assicurato a Bulgakov un posto di rilievo nel pantheon dei grandi scrittori russi.

O Mestre e Margarita é um romance satírico de fantasia publicado por sua esposa vinte e seis anos após sua morte, em 1966, que lhe concedeu imortalidade crítica. O livro estava disponível clandestinamente, como samizdat ("sam" + "izdat" - "autopublicado", Vladimir Bukovsky o definiu como "eu mesmo o crio, edito, censuro, publico, distribuo e [posso] ser preso por isso"), por muitos anos na União Soviética, antes da publicação de uma versão censurada na revista Moskva. Um manuscrito destruído do Mestre é um elemento importante da trama e, de fato, Bulgakov teve de reescrever o romance de memória depois de queimar o rascunho do manuscrito com suas próprias mãos. O romance é uma crítica de várias camadas à sociedade soviética em geral e ao seu establishment literário especificamente. Começa com Satanás visitando Moscou nos anos 20 ou 30, participando de uma conversa entre um crítico e um poeta, debatendo atarefadamente a existência de Jesus Cristo e do Diabo. Em seguida, evolui para uma acusação abrangente da corrupção, da ganância, da estreiteza de espírito e da paranoia generalizada da Rússia Soviética. Proibido, mas amplamente lido, o romance garantiu firmemente o lugar de Bulgakov entre o panteão dos grandes escritores russos.

O Mestre e Margarita (Traduzido)

O Mestre e Margarida é uma obra que transcende os limites do realismo ao mesclar sátira política, fantasia e filosofia em uma narrativa complexa e envolvente. Mikhail Bulgákov constrói uma crítica mordaz ao regime soviético, utilizando elementos do sobrenatural para expor as contradições da sociedade e os desafios da liberdade artística. Ambientado em Moscou na década de 1930, o romance acompanha a chegada do enigmático Woland, uma representação do diabo, e seus excêntricos acompanhantes, que desencadeiam uma série de eventos caóticos e reveladores. Paralelamente, a história de amor entre o Mestre, um escritor perseguido, e Margarida, sua devotada amante, adiciona uma dimensão emocional profunda à obra. Desde sua publicação, O Mestre e Margarida tem sido celebrado por sua originalidade e profundidade simbólica. Sua abordagem crítica ao autoritarismo, aliada a uma narrativa repleta de ironia e surrealismo, consolidou seu status como uma das grandes obras da literatura russa do século XX. O romance explora temas como a luta pela liberdade criativa, a dualidade entre o bem e o mal e o impacto do poder sobre o indivíduo. A relevância contínua da obra reside na sua capacidade de questionar os limites da realidade e do controle ideológico, enquanto mergulha na complexidade das relações humanas e do destino. Ao entrelaçar sátira e misticismo, Bulgákov convida o leitor a refletir sobre o papel da arte e da verdade em meio à repressão, tornando O Mestre e Margarida uma leitura instigante e atemporal.

O Mestre e Margarida

“Notes on the Cuffs” is a partly autobiographical novel written by Mikhail Bulgakov in 1922-1923. During the writer's lifetime, the story was never published in its entirety. The currently preserved text is divided into two parts (in the original version the story consisted of three parts). The first part is about the writer's life in Vladikavkaz. The lyrical hero reflects on literature, seeks to create an association of writers. The second part describes the adventures of the hero in Moscow. The novel is filled with humor, mysticism, completely unexpected plot twists.

Notes on the Cuffs [Russian Edition]

В пьесе Михаила Булгакова «Зойкина квартира», написанной в 1925 году, повествуется о Зое Пельц – очаровательной авантюристке, отчаянно строящей планы побега из советской России. Однако это – долгий и трудный процесс, поэтому ей приходится хитростью бороться за выживание. Когда взятки уже не помогают, и Зое грозит подселение незнакомых людей из-за якобы слишком большой жилплощади, она открывает в своей квартире фиктивную швейную мастерскую, которая на самом деле является домом свиданий. Бизнес Зои процветает, но абсурдная, суровая и комичная советская реальность начинает ломиться через все двери Зойкиной квартиры.

Zoyka's Apartment [Зойкина квартира]

A Young Doctor's Notebook is a series of short stories by Mikhail Bulgakov created in the first half of the 1920s. It was based on the medical practice of the writer himself, who graduated from the medical faculty of Kyiv University in 1916 and worked as a doctor for four years.

A Young Doctor's Notebook [Russian Edition]

Дьяволиада Михаила Булгакова - это повесть-гротеск, смешная и горькая сатира на государственную бюрократию. Автор показывает беззащитность и бессилие обыкновенного человека перед могуществом самородящегося и самонастраивающегося бюрократического аппарата. Но самое ужасное состоит в том, что люди привыкают к системе отношений, им насаждаемых, и начинают считать их естественными, какие бы фантастически уродливые формы они ни принимали.
