A Dead Man's Memoir: A Theatrical Novel (Penguin Classics)

1 review
Mikhail Bulgakov

Penguin Classics, 2007

Bulgakov at his best
This is such a great book that someone such as myself that had no interest in the theater or plays could not put it down. That is because this book is less about theater and more about people and living under oppression. Here is a biography of sorts on how a great work of writing can be buried under the weight of large egos, jealousy, and the soveit system. Yet this book dose not exclusivly ...

The Fatal Eggs (Hesperus Modern Voices)

3 reviews
Mikhail Bulgakov

Hesperus Press, 2005

Genius
Bulgakov is wonderful. This story is a charming expression of Bulgakov's sentiments of Soviet Russia. I am constantly amazed that Bulgakov managed to escape the Culling that was suffered by so many of Russia's intellectuals.

Black Snow.

Keith Reddin, Mikhail Bulgakov

Dramatist's Play Service, 1998

Some clarification
Translation of the name of the book is chosen badly. It is 'Teatral'nyi roman' - not 'Black Snow'! The latter is the name of the novel which gets written by the narrator and plays an auxiliary role in the story (it is of course a paraphrase on the 'White Guard' - the image of a man running on the snow away from the horsemen is from there). In part, the subject of 'Teatral'nyi roman' is theatre - ...

The Master and Margarita

341 reviews
Mikhail Bulgakov

Vintage, 1996

A GIFT FROM THE GRAVE
I found Mikhail Bulgakov's life terribly sad, as I progressed through this novel, realizing how much of it is autobiographical. Here was a brilliant man---the grandson of Priests, who was obviously quite theologically challenged in atheist Russia. His motif surrounding the existence of Jesus and the Devil, told through stories of Faust and Pontius Pilate, was obviously his personal desire to ...

Zoyka's Apartment: A Tragic Farce in Three Acts (Great Translations for Actors Series)

1 review
Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov, Frank Dwyer

Smith & Kraus, 1996

Zoyka's Apartment
As an actor, I fell completely in love with Zoyka's Apartment. Bulgakov has an amazing capacity for imagery. The characters are vivid and enthralling. His sense of comedy remains unsurpassed by the writers of today. I highly recommend this hysterically ludicrous play to any fan of Bulgakov. You may also enjoy reading anything by Kurt Vonnegut, his work runs along the same lines as Bulgakov's.

Flight and Bliss

1 review
Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov

New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1985

Great drama works
Bulgakov is beloved for his novel "Master and Margarita", a surreal working of the Faust legend set in Stalinist Russia. These two plays "Flight" and "Bliss" show Bulgakov's real forte--drama. He authored plays (not published in his lifetime) and worked as a stage director (an assistant director, all he was allowed by the Soviet government, who knew him for an independent thinker.) Both plays are ...

Heart of a Dog

Mikhail Bulgakov

Grove Press, 1994

An Analysis of "Heart of a Dog"
If perused only ephemerally, or taken merely at face value, Mikhail Bulgakov's "The Heart of a Dog," is likely to give the reader a false impression of simplicity or childishness; however, if more carefully surveyed in light of the monumental political and historical context in which it was penned, the novel, formally seeming silly or fantastical, reveals itself to be a highly critical analysis ...

Bulgakov: Six Plays (World Classics)
Mikhail Bulgakov

The Life of Monsieur De Moliere

2 reviews
Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov

New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1986

A very pro Moliere book that is a pleasure to read.
Mikhail Bulgakov's book The Life of Monsieur de Moliere is a very biased book that is uncritical of the great French writer Moliere. Despite the author's unabashed love of Moliere, the book is a treat from beginning to end. Bulgakov feels an affinity with Moliere because he wrote under a totalitarian regime headed by Stalin in Russia and Moliere wrote during the reign of Louis XIV. Although ...
