A masterful translation of one of the great novels of the 20th century

Nothing in the whole of literature compares with The Master and Margarita. Full of pungency and wit, this luminous work is Bulgakov’s crowning achievement, skilfully blending magical and realistic elements, grotesque situations and major ethical concerns. Written during the darkest period of Stalin’s repressive reign and a devastating satire of Soviet life, it combines two distinct yet interwoven parts, one set in contemporary Moscow, the other in ancient Jerusalem, each brimming with incident and with historical, imaginary, frightful and wonderful characters. Although completed in 1940, The Master and Margarita was not published until 1966 when the first section appeared in the monthly magazine Moskva. Russians everywhere responded enthusiastically to the novel’s artistic and spiritual freedom and it was an immediate and enduring success. This new translation has been made from the complete and unabridged Russian text. Source: …

Přeceňovaná ztráta času

1 stella

Mistr a Markétka je pravděpodobně kniha, o které se mnohem více hovoří než se ji čte. Považuje se totiž obecně za klasiku a nejúspěšnější dílo autora, ale je skutečnou otázkou, kde takový dojem vznikl. Děj knihy je vyšinutý a zbytečně spletitý, v podstatě se neubírá vůbec nikam a čtenář má tak pocit, že jen ztrácí čas, protože se nic nedozvěděl. Hlavní děj o rozsahu menšího časopisu je uměle rozšiřovaný nad 400 stran a často i nelogicky. Když se nějaká zápletka, která svou vážností ani nestojí za řeč, nějak rozplete, vzápětí autor vše zase pokračováním přetvoří, aby se rozpletla jinak. Tím čtenář předchozí stránky ani nemusel číst a trpí tak v nekonečném labyrintu, který nikam nevede, protože i závěr knihy je velmi neuspokojivý. Snad má kniha čtenáře bavit jako komedie, bohužel však "žerty" v knize nejsou vůbec vtipné.
