Ah, comrades, gather 'round, for I've ventured through the swirling mists of Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita" on a whirlwind of vodka-fueled madness. Picture this: the dark depths of Moscow's night, where Satan himself dances amidst the chaos of Soviet society.
Bulgakov, that devilish genius, weaves a tale so twisted and tantalizing, it's like stumbling through a vodka haze, unsure if you're dreaming or drowning in reality. The characters, oh the characters! The Master, a tortured soul bound by his own creation; Margarita, a woman of fire and ice, with a love that burns brighter than a thousand suns. And Woland, that sly devil, who waltzes through Moscow with a smirk and a flick of his cloak.
But it's not just the characters that grip you in their claws; it's the atmosphere, thick with the scent of desperation and decay. You can practically taste the vodka-soaked despair as you wander through the streets of Moscow, where madness reigns supreme and the line between truth and illusion blurs into oblivion.
And yet, amidst the chaos, there's a strange sort of beauty, like a flickering candle in the darkness. Bulgakov's prose dances and dazzles, like the flames of a bonfire casting eerie shadows on the walls of your mind. It's intoxicating, mesmerizing, like a never-ending vodka binge that leaves you reeling and craving more.
So raise your glass, comrades, and toast to Bulgakov, that mad literary genius who dared to dive headfirst into the abyss and emerged with a masterpiece that will haunt your dreams and intoxicate your soul. The Master and Margarita: a tale of love and madness, of vodka and devilry, that will leave you breathless and begging for another round.

A great tale, but I'm now unsure of the translation.
A crazy, fun read, full of insightful and satirical commentary.
Maestrul și Margareta este o carte simpatica. Personajele conturate într-o maniera copilăroasă mai mult decât sumbră te fac sa zâmbești pe parcursul întregii povestiri.
slow-paced
The book is apparently a satire but I was was too thick to get it.
It has lots of colorful characters, who become all powerful and charismatic after at times a one line introduction. This sort of surrealism is very Russian. I will remember these characters but not much of what they do in the book.
It was surprised to see how this book is very popular and a lot of artists I like rate this highly, but I personally did not get the greatness of the book. Maybe something is lost in the decades since this book was published.
