Master and Margarita. Theatrical novel. Bulgakov M.A.

The novel “Master and Margarita” became the most difficult work of the writer. The author began to write a book back in the late 1920s, but did not manage to complete it-editing the novel was finished by the writer’s widow after his death. A multi-level and multifaceted novel about the devil and his retinue, who revealed the Moscow in the 1930s by their presence, about the prosecutor of Judea, the rider Pontius Pilate and the poor philosopher Yeshua Ga-Notsri, about the talented and unhappy Master and his beautiful and faithful beloved Margarita.

< P> “Theater Roman” is an exciting, sometimes ridiculous, at times a sad and tragic story about the everyday life and the backstage life of the most famous Russian theater of the twentieth century - the Moscow Art Theater, as well as the fate of the writer and his manuscript. Who and what is not here! This is a kind of chronicle of the “ordeals” of the young author (in which Bulgakov himself and his play “Days of the Turbins”) in theatrical and artistic Moscow are easily guessed. Among the people whom he meets, many famous writers, theater figures and stars of the 1930s scene-from Alexei Tolstoy, Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko to Olga Knipper-Chekhova and Valentina Kataeva.
