Mikhail Bulgakov wrote Russian fiction and satire that used fantasy, absurdity and the supernatural to expose bureaucracy, censorship and moral compromise. The Master and Margarita brings the Devil and his entourage to Soviet Moscow, where their disruptions intersect with a persecuted writer, his lover Margarita and a parallel story about Pontius Pilate. Heart of a Dog follows a medical experiment that transforms a stray dog into a difficult human citizen, turning scientific fantasy into political satire. The White Guard takes a more realistic approach to civil war and a family in Kyiv. Bulgakov's prose can be comic, grotesque and philosophical, fitting Russian classics, satirical fantasy and twentieth-century political fiction. Read more Less
