Russia’s literary world is shaken to its foundations when a mysterious gentleman – a professor of black magic – arrives in Moscow, accompanied by a bizarre retinue of servants. It soon becomes clear that he is the Devil himself, come to wreak havoc among the cultural elite of a disbelieving capital. But the Devil’s mission quickly becomes entangled with the fate of the Master – a man who has turned his back on his former life and taken refuge in a lunatic asylum – and his past lover, Margarita. Both a satirical romp and a daring analysis of the nature of good and evil, innocence and guilt, The Master and Margarita is the crowning achievement of one of the greatest Russian writers of the twentieth century.

"Master i Margarita" - samyj izvestnyj i populjarnyj roman velikogo russkogo pisatelja XX veka Mikhaila Bulgakova. Eto proizvedenie do sikh por vyzyvaet voskhischenie i mnogo voprosov, sporov i obsuzhdenij. Roman o ljubvi? Istoriko-filosofskie razmyshlenija? Roman o borbe dobra i zla, o chuvstvakh, oschuschenijakh, printsipakh i vselenskom ponimanii suschnosti mirozdanija i chelovecheskikh otnoshenijakh? Etot roman vne vremeni, vne prostranstva i vne vozrastnykh predpochtenij. Mnogie ne raz na protjazhenii svoej zhizni vozvraschajutsja k nemu, perechityvaja ego, i kazhdyj raz, otkryvajut dlja sebja chto-to novoe, menjajuschee ves smysl zhiznennykh paradigm. Pereplet - imitatsija naturalnoj kozhi, tisnenie zolotom, blintom i matovoj folgoj. Zakrashennyj trekhstoronnij obrez. Kruglennyj koreshok. Imitatsija bintov. Firmennoe ljasse. V blokakh ispolzujutsja dizajnerskie bumagi.

Izvestnyj literator v razdrazhenii zametil: "Teper, kogda molodezh chitaet tolko odnu knigu..." On imel v vidu "Mastera i Margaritu" - i, v obschem, ne bez nekotorogo osnovanija. S momenta pervoj publikatsii (1966-1967) i do sego dnja roman Mikhaila Bulgakova neizmenno vozglavljaet rossijskie rejtingi chitatelskoj populjarnosti. Rasskaz o tom, kak Satana so svitoj v paskhalnuju nedelju posetil predvoennuju Moskvu, soprjazhennyj s opisaniem sobytij dvukhtysjacheletnej davnosti v biblejskom Ershalaime, stal dlja neskolkikh pokolenij molodykh ljudej i uchebnikom sovetskoj istorii, i "Evangeliem ot Bulgakova". Pri etom dlja mnogikh chitatelej obraz Mastera slilsja s portretom samogo Mikhaila Afanasevicha, kotoryj v 1930 godu "lichno, svoimi rukami, brosil v pechku chernovik romana o djavole". Vskore i vyjasnilos, chto rukopisi ne gorjat, i prorochestvo Volanda ("Vash roman vam prineset esche sjurprizy") vpolne sbylos.

Povest "Sobache serdtse" napisana M. A. Bulgakovym v janvare-marte 1925 goda, v SSSR vpervye opublikovana v zhurnale "Znamja" v 1987 godu, no do publikatsii shiroko khodila v samizdate. Istorija vvedenija "Sobachego serdtsa" v "ofitsialnyj oborot" podrobno opisana v state M. O. Chudakovoj, zavershajuschej etu knigu. Ogromnaja populjarnost prishla k bulgakovskim gerojam posle chrezvychajno udachnoj ekranizatsii knigi v 1989 godu. Sharik-Sharikov, professor Preobrazhenskij, doktor Bormental, predsedatel domkoma Shvonder stali naritsatelnymi personazhami. A istorija o bezdomnoj sobake, prinjavshej posle khirurgicheskoj operatsii chelovecheskij oblik, no zatem pod vlijaniem idej o klassovoj vrazhde proletariata i burzhuazii vnov utrativshej ego, obrela pochti folklornuju izvestnost. Segodnja obraschennoe k cheloveku opredelenie "Sharikov" - sinonim gluposti, zhadnosti i neblagodarnosti. Pes Sharik, mezhdu prochim, takim ne byl - eto chisto ljudskie svojstva.

Eto — samyj zagadochnyj iz romanov za vsju istoriju otechestvennoj literatury XX v. Eto — roman, kotoryj pochti ofitsialno nazyvajut "Evangeliem ot Satany". Eto — "Master i Margarita". Kniga, kotoruju mozhno chitat i perechityvat desjatki, sotni raz, no glavnoe v kotoroj vse ravno ponjat nevozmozhno. Itak, kakie stranitsy "Mastera i Margarita" nadiktovany Silami Sveta? I kakie — naoborot — pisany "so slov" Sil Tmy? Poka chto etogo ne znaet nikto. Prochitajte. Mozhet, vy uznaete eto pervymi?...

"Pevear and Volokhonsky are at once scrupulous translators and vivid stylists of English." The New YorkerFrom the acclaimed Russian author and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov, Moliere, or The Cabal of Hypocrites and Don Quixote are given fresh new translations by preeminent Russian translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, along with prominent playwright Richard Nelson. Most known for his novel The Master and Margarita, Bulgakov had a knack for political allegory and proved it time and again in his numerous writings. Both works in this one-of-a-kind book were contentious in their time, written as allegories of the early twentieth-century Russian agenda, remarking especially on Stalin's harsh regime. Charged with cultural subtext and controversial intrigue, both plays are revealed in a new light in this exceptional new volume. Richard Nelson's many plays include Rodney's Wife, Goodnight Children Everywhere, Drama Desknominated Franny's Way and Some Americans Abroad, Tony Awardnominated Two Shakespearean Actors and James Joyce's The Dead (with Shaun Davey), for which he won a Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical, and the critically acclaimed, searing play cycle, The Apple Family Plays. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have produced acclaimed translations of Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Anton Chekhov, and Mikhail Bulgakov. Their translations of The Brothers Karamazov and Anna Karenina won the 1991 and 2002 PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prizes. Pevvear, a native of Boston, and Volokhonsjky, of St. Petersburg, are married to each other and live in Paris, France."

Completed in 1933, but not published until 1962, over twenty years after its author's death, "The Life of Monsieur de Moliere" charts the life of the French playwright, from humble beginnings to later theatrical triumphs and political controversies. The work was met with disapproval by the Soviet authorities, who detected parallels between the lives of Moliere and Bulgakov, and viewed the work as a veiled critique of their own times. With a dazzling blend of biography and novelistic imagination, Bulgakov's eccentric and satirical take on the life of a fellow writer energetically captures the genius of Moliere, while revealing another aspect of his own self.
