Publisher Description
Дьяволиада Михаила Булгакова - это повесть-гротеск, смешная и горькая сатира на государственную бюрократию. Автор показывает беззащитность и бессилие обыкновенного человека перед могуществом самородящегося и самонастраивающегося бюрократического аппарата. Но самое ужасное состоит в том, что люди привыкают к системе отношений, им насаждаемых, и начинают считать их естественными, какие бы фантастически уродливые формы они ни принимали.

About Mikhail Bulgakov
Mikhail
Bulgakov (1891–1940) was born in Kiev. Schooled as a doctor, he gave up the
practice of medicine in 1920 to devote himself to writing. He went on to write
some of the greatest novels in twentieth-century Russian literature, including White
Guard and Black Snow. Though Bulgakov’s work was often censored,
Stalin showed his personal favor by protecting him from imprisonment and
finding a job for him at the Moscow Art Theatre, where the writer would work as
a director and playwright for many years. He died at the age of forty-nine from
a kidney disorder. His masterpiece, The Master and Margarita, would not
be published until twenty-six years after his death.
