——————
The magician Woland (Satan) parachuted into Moscow in the 1930s with a talking black cat, and used his magic power to "do evil" - vain citizens made a fool of themselves, greedy officials lost their lives inexplicably, and a city that believed in atheism was turned upside down by supernatural forces...
At the same time, in another time and space, in Jerusalem two thousand years ago, a far-reaching judgment was being carried out nervously. Should the holy and sinless young man Jesus be executed? The Roman governor fell into a thousand years of entanglement and a thousand years of regret.
A love as poignant as moonlight unfolds in Moscow as if destined. God, the devil, the master who burned manuscripts, and the girl who was crazy about love all appeared one by one; executioners, informers, adulterers, and selfish people came one after another. In the bizarre fantasy, a carnival spanning time and space begins...
"The Master and Marguerite" is considered the pioneering work of magical realism. The author fictionalizes the devil's visit to Moscow and connects incredible magical fantasies, real historical events and banal and vulgar daily life, creating a magnificent world where reality and illusion are intertwined, rationality and absurdity coexist, and fantasy and reality are integrated. It uses a relaxed, humorous and light-weight writing style, a chain comedy, a book-within-a-book structure, and bright, firm, and radiant language to sweep away the heavy, profound, and inaccessible impression that Russian literature has left on readers. It has been rated as the best Russian novel in the 20th century and the first of the 49 ideal collections of Russian literature in France's "Ideal Collection of Books."
Reader comments
This book is great! Bulgakov is such a genius! He perfectly combined magical fantasy with real life, making me feel like I was in a bizarre world. Wallander in the book said: "What people believe in, they will get." This sentence deeply inspired me. If we believe in our dreams and work hard for them, we will definitely gain something. This book is definitely worth reading again and again!
In the second painting, Bulgakov used his wild imagination to stew myth, history, satire and allegory into a pot, but created a masterpiece with exquisite structure and profound meaning. He opened a bottle of vodka for the devil and let him have fun on the streets of Moscow. Satan in a straight suit led a crazy magical atmosphere team and turned the entire city into a laboratory of absurdity. Citizens staged a performance art of panic-buying for free fashions, bureaucrats bowed to empty suits, and a cursing black cat was busy competing with humans in a battle of wits.
，：， Their love story is like sugar cubes in black coffee, so sweet that the devil can't help but secretly help. While Bulgakov used the devil's mirror to reflect the funny folds of human nature, he quietly gave the reader a rose: "Hey, even if the world is absurd, you still have to believe in magic and love!"
If there is no evil, what is the use of your kindness? What would the earth look like if all the shadows on the ground disappeared? Shadows are created by things and people. For example, the shadow of my sword. All trees and living things have shadows. Do you want to strip the earth naked, sweep away all trees and creatures, and enjoy a bare world?
I regret that the novel has no ending. So, I want you to look at the protagonist of your book right now. For nearly two thousand years, he has been sitting on this stone platform and sleeping here. However, whenever the full moon came, he couldn't sleep. He suffered from insomnia. The full moon not only tortured him, but also tortured his loyal dog Weiyi. If cowardice is really the most serious flaw of human beings, then, probably, this dog is not guilty of cowardice. This fierce dog is afraid of nothing except thunder and lightning. But what can be done? Whoever loves should share his fate with the one he loves.
Actually not bad! Among Russian literature with a long preamble, this book is relatively interesting. The content is absurd and mysterious, the theme is clear, and the rhythm is relatively comfortable. From the perspective of the times, this book is relatively novel and unique, and it is not too cliché from a modern perspective. 4 Stars is because it is not very close to my aesthetic, but I still quite approve of this book. Both the writing technique and the content are great. If you ask me, you can even tag it: Shuangwen, ancient and modern he. It's better than many articles nowadays. Many articles now spend more than half of their pages describing evil people and evil deeds, making readers angry to death and then punishing them. In comparison, the space seems to be aimed at punishing readers. This book is appropriately complex, fast-paced, and the language is concise. It's really comfortable!
It's good to read, and the plot is more interesting than most novels nowadays.
The devil is not actually scary, he is also kind.
It looks good, and the story lines are well interwoven and logical. There is a strong sense of fate at the end, and the depressed person is relieved and redeemed.
Good looking, crazy devil, cute kitten.
A great work, with crazy imagination, magical scenes, ugly hearts and pure love. What impressed me the most in the whole novel was the conversation between Pilate plotting to kill the Jews, and the conversation between Pilate and Jesus through Ivan's perspective. Some of the plot designs are really exquisite. The happy ending between the master and Margaret made me smile. It was so good.
A great work that interweaves absurd reality and bizarre fantasy!
Magical realism, two lines going back and forth, interesting, and a lot of irony
