This book could only be written in Russia . Russian literature has made tremendous contribution to human Western culture. Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Pushkin, etc, etc, etc.
Saw here some with "stupid" very benevolent paraphrased comments regarding LSD and morphine. It would be respectful to the genius Bulgakov to say that he wasn't a "junkie" but terminally ill - his kidneys were failing very slowly. So he took morphine, which was prescribed to him by his family doctor in 1924. There was no other way of relieving the terrible pain back then. I could cry when I think that he wrote the brilliant novel in pain and slowly dying.
and what? till you read it in original you just wasted your time you would not understand even 1 percent of what is this book about till you read it in original and only with help of some russian priests who can explain the social and christian context which is being told in this book
Homeless: In early versions of the novel, Bulgakov called his poet Bezrodny (‘Tastless’ or ‘Familyless’). Many ‘proletarian’ writers adopted such pen-names, the most famous being Alexei Peshkov, who called himself Maxim Gorky (gorky meaning ‘bitter’). Others called themselves Golodny (‘Hungry’), Besposhchadny (‘Merciless’), Pribludny (‘Stray’). Worthy of special note here is the poet Efim Pridvorov, who called himself Demian Bedny (‘Poor’), author of violent anti-religious poems. It may have been the reading of Bedny that originally sparked Bulgakov’s impulse to write The Master and Margarita.
First I tried reading it when I was still at school, 16 y.o. and found it completely strange and not interesting at all. Later, may be, in my 20 y.o. or so, I came back to this book again adn could not stop reading! Had read it in 3 days. It is one of my favorite book. I cannot evaluate the translation but it must be excellent if there are so many english people who really like it.
The Greatest novel ) Translation good enough, but for best understanding you should be better to be born in russia, to know russian history and mentality ))
it's very close to the original. You know, recently I listened 1984 by George Orwell. He was "Nostradamus" of 1949 and predicted modern world in general and US of 2020
❤ Thank you very much for this. I love this book and should never have bothered with it, if it were not for you, because I thought it was about Berlioz, the composer.
What translation is THIS recording? I'm listening to it while following along with the Richard Pevear/Larissa Volokhonsky version which I purchased before I found this wonderful audio.
You could put them into a playlist for extra brownie points :) For future advice as well. Anything which is in parts, a playlist plays consecutively through them. thanks for upload!
I guess they are too lazy in posting the Lucy Cathrine version because nobody pprefers an english version other than the russian version but its also for people to understand russian is really a hard language while english its easy to understand.
You know there were at least three versions of the novel (with slight differences). so, even in russian I had met several editions, so it gave me an illusion that I read slightly different novels every time (amazing feeling). as far as I know there are 5 or 6 english translations of the novel.
you just all wasting your time listening to this book to understand it you need to know and speak Russian and then know something about the author and the times he lived in i bet even nobody here can explain why there was no beer in the kiosk and the woman why she got offended by those questions about beer and that is just one question and i can ask over ten thousand questions like this - why the poet was writing anti-religious poem and in the same time why he found in the very first apartment he stepped a holy image
I really wanted to like this BUT an old man with a lisp reading one of the classics of Western [yes, Western] literature at 100 mph??? Absolutely horrible ... watch the Russian TV series instead
It sounds like that, I know, but looking at the translation in print, the end of chapter 1 falls away just like in the recording here, and the exact same words from the end of chapter 1 form the beginning of chapter 2. So nothing is missing from this excellent audiobook :-)

I’ve read this book in English, Persian and Italian. It’s my go to book when I feel down and this narration by far is the best I heard. Thank you!
and what? till you read it in original you just wasted your time
you would not understand even 1 percent of what is this book about till you read it in original and only with help of some russian priests who can explain the social and christian context which is being told in this book
@@wisefull Really? 1 percent made me fall so hard, I wonder what the rest could do to my soul!
@g.elkwoman2160 lol you are funny
That is all in your head but in reality you understood nothing from what you read
I wonder why did the translator decide to only transliterate Bezdomny's pen name, rather that translating it - Homeless.
Probably for the fairly obvious reason that it would be distracting.

In russian it's just godlike
Oh, I feel really sorry about you... In Russian it’s incredible! You can’t even imagine...😍

ah! I can guarantee that while the english is brilliant, it does little to capture Bulgakov's wonderful use of language and wordplay

мой любимы роман - можно учить английский!

.. absolute genius....
Was LSD legal in Russia back then?
Sergey Volkoff
Those are just rumours.
not just rumours :)
James Woosley no but since Bulgakov was a doctor he got his hands on some good old morphin )))
LSD was not invented yet.
Mushrooms were probably known
James Woosley No, dear) Bulgakov is just a genius writer😍
What translation is THIS recording? I'm listening to it while following along with the Richard Pevear/Larissa Volokhonsky version which I purchased before I found this wonderful audio.
Glenny?
CLASSIC
what is the name of the man who reads it?

I imagine Woland as Gary Oldman’s Dracula..
Oh God no
The narrator makes this even better. What's his name?
this audiobook is different to my paperback version slighty
You know there were at least three versions of the novel (with slight differences). so, even in russian I had met several editions, so it gave me an illusion that I read slightly different novels every time (amazing feeling). as far as I know there are 5 or 6 english translations of the novel.
The most best book and most distinct narration.
After reading it in Russian twice and seeing the new Russian film last night, I’m here to experience the Master-piece in English.
"the new Russian film last night" ?!?!
this is a masterpiece, yes
Brilliant reading!
Who read the book ?
you just all wasting your time listening to this book
to understand it you need to know and speak Russian and then know something about the author and the times he lived in
i bet even nobody here can explain why there was no beer in the kiosk and the woman why she got offended by those questions about beer
and that is just one question and i can ask over ten thousand questions like this - why the poet was writing anti-religious poem and in the same time why he found in the very first apartment he stepped a holy image
by the way, there was no apricot juice, but apricot soda in original book, this is first that cut my ears now.
excellent...yay and thanky both
I really wanted to like this BUT an old man with a lisp reading one of the classics of Western [yes, Western] literature at 100 mph??? Absolutely horrible ... watch the Russian TV series instead
Thank you
Great
Im not sure but the close we get its read by Im Drunk on Baileys the real name is unknown.

Великолепное чтение, как перевод!
THEY SHOULD MAKE A MOVIE ON THIS BOOK IN HOLLYWOOD
God forbid!!!
I've heard that an English-language movie is in the works...
BrOOklynUP Absolutely agree! Let’s create a petition!
They would fuck it up
Besides they would probably cut out of the anti communist comedy
@@therussiancomicbookgeek absolutely
Большое спасибо!!!!
This helps with my school book review
The end of the chapter is missing!!
It sounds like that, I know, but looking at the translation in print, the end of chapter 1 falls away just like in the recording here, and the exact same words from the end of chapter 1 form the beginning of chapter 2. So nothing is missing from this excellent audiobook :-)
