Mihhail Bulgakovi poolelt lauselt katkevaid "Kadunukese ülestähendusi" tundis eesti lugeja seni kui "Teatriromaani". Mõlemad pealkirjad on kahtlemata paljuütlevad: see ongi tõesti romaan teatrist, tema vastupandamatust kutsest, mis aga selle kuuldavõtjale hukatuslikuks võib osutuda.Ainest raamatu kirjutamiseks ammutas Bulgakov omaenese turbulentsest töösuhtest Moskva kunstiteatriga, kõrvalosades esinevad aga juba ka tegelased kirjandusringkondadest, kes jõuavad eeslavale "Meistris ja Margaritas".Kultuurisuurused võivad kohati osutuda hämmastavalt väikesteks inimesteks ja seda kirjeldades ei hoia Bulgakov irooniaga kokku. See on naljakas ja kurb raamat, mille lehekülgede vesimärgiks võiksid olla teatrit sümboliseerivad naerev ja nuttev mask.Uuele väljaandele on saatesõna kirjutanud Irina Belobrovtseva, kes valgustab raamatu kirjutamise ja ilmumise tausta.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY TERRY GILLIAMWhen Maxudov's bid to take his own life fails, he dramatises the novel whose failure provoked the suicide attempt.

Drawing closely on Bulgakov's personal experiences of the horrors of civil war as a young doctor, The White Guard takes place in Kiev, 1918, a time of turmoil and suffocating uncertainty as the Bolsheviks, Socialists and Germans fight for control of the city.

The five, irreverant, satirical and imaginative stories contained in Diaboliad caused an uproar upon the book's first publication in 1925. Full of invention, they display Bulgakov's breathtaking stylistic range, moving at dizzying speed from grotesque satire to science fiction, from the plainest realism to the most madcap fantasy.

TRANSLATED BY MICHAEL GLENNYWith 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.

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY ANDREY KURKOVA rich, successful Moscow professor befriends a stray dog and attempts a scientific first by transplanting into it the testicles and pituitary gland of a recently deceased man.

Bulgakov paints an excellent picture of Stalinâ??s regime in this allegorical masterpiece. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY WILL SELFThe devil makes a personal appearance in Moscow accompanied by various demons, including a naked girl and a huge black cat.

A semi-autobiographical novel by the Russian author best known for The Master and the Margarita describes a writer's failure to sell his novel and then his inability to commit suicide, as well as his discovery of the unexpected consequences of literary success when his play is accepted for a theatrical production. Original. 12,000 first printing.

A Dog's Heart: An Appalling Story is Mikhail Bulgakov's hilarious satire on Communist hypocrisies. This Penguin Classics edition is translated with notes by Andrew Bromfield, and includes an introduction by James Meek.In this surreal work by the author of The Master and Margarita, wealthy Moscow surgeon Filip Preobrazhensky implants the pituitary gland and testicles of a drunken petty criminal into the body of a stray dog named Sharik. As the dog slowly transforms into a man, and the man into a slovenly, lecherous government official, the doctor's life descends into chaos. A scathing indictment of the New Soviet Man, A Dog's Heart was immediately banned by the Soviet government when it was first published in 1925: alternating lucid realism with pulse-raising drama, the novel captures perfectly the atmosphere of its rapidly changing times.Andrew Bromfield's vibrant translation is accompanied by an introduction by James Meek, which places the work in the context of the Russian class struggles of the era and considers the vision, progressive style and lasting relevance of an author who was isolated and suppressed during his lifetime. This edition also contains notes and a chronology.Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940) was born in Kiev, today the capital of Ukraine. After finishing high school, Bulgakov entered the Medical School of Kiev University, graduating in 1916. He wrote about his experiences as a doctor in his early works Notes on Cuffs and Notes of a Young Country Doctor. His later works treated the subject of the artist and the tyrant under the guise of historical characters, but The Master and Margarita is generally considered his masterpiece. Fame, at home and abroad, was not to come until a quarter of a century after his death at Moscow in 1940.If you enjoyed A Dog's Heart, you might like Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, also available in Penguin Classics.

'Bulgakov is one of the greatest Russian writers, perhaps the greatest' IndependentWritten in secret during the darkest days of Stalin's reign, The Master and Margarita became an overnight literary phenomenon when it was finally published it, signalling artistic freedom for Russians everywhere. Bulgakov's carnivalesque satire of Soviet life describes how the Devil, trailing fire and chaos in his wake, weaves himself out of the shadows and into Moscow one Spring afternoon. Brimming with magic and incident, it is full of imaginary, historical, terrifying and wonderful characters, from witches, poets and Biblical tyrants to the beautiful, courageous Margarita, who will do anything to save the imprisoned writer she loves. Translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky with an Introduction by Richard Pevear

Each part is 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. This newly revised translation, by the award-winning team of Pevear and Volokhonsky, is made from the complete and unabridged Russian text.

90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin BooksWhat would happen if a doctor implanted the pituitary gland and testicles of a man into the body of a stray dog? In Mikhail Bulgakov’s topsy-turvy world, the dog starts to walk on two legs, drink, smoke, thieve, chase women and recite every swear word in Russian. The perfect candidate for a government official, in other words. This rude, riotous send-up of the Soviet Union, banned immediately on publication, is satire red in tooth and claw.

Set in Moscow of the 1920's, this satirical novel recounts the dealings a writer and his mistress have with Satan
