Course Description

Mikhail Bulgakov’s savage satire of modern bureaucracy alternates between scenes of Stalinist Russia and ancient Jerusalem. Bulgakov literally unleashes the powers of Hell by having the Devil and his entourage—including a vodka-drinking cat, a poet, and Pontius Pilate--visit contemporary Moscow. The ensuing chaos includes a Satanic ball, vampire attacks, and a revisiting of the trial of Jesus before Pilate. Among the themes Bulgakov touches on are guilt, forgiveness, and to what extent we control our own fate. For the first class, please read Book One, chapters 1-6. Edition: Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita, Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky (Translators), Penguin Classics, 2001, ISBN-13: 978-0141180144.
