I always feel like a piece of shit (pardon my French) when I read through a novel and come away with just the story and when I look it up I find so much I was totally clueless about. Thanks so much, beautiful visuals and voice-work.

[@BlankRami]

As a fellow piece of shit I laughed and sympathize much with your pain

[@ronetteskiestante4064]

Just finished reading the novel. It's one of the most interesting books I've ever read, lots of things happened, and it kept my attention up to the last page. I felt sorry for Bulgakov that he burned his book at first, but I'm happy for him that he tried again and eventually his novel was published and read by tons of people worldwide. :) It still happened for him, though many years after his death, but I think deep down he's proud of it and him being able to share it with his friends atleast made him feel a bit happy and worth his while while he was alive..:)

[@BlueDotSessions]

A beloved read, thanks for the memory.

[@myalchemicalgardenofsounds919]

Huh, that is weird... Did you get a notification of a reply to your comment? I wrote a really long reply, delving into my experiences catalysed by this book - and KZbin said: "comment submitted"... But now it's gone? That's really frustrating...

[@salapec3880]

Amazing commentary and images, thank you. I really enjoyed this video. Your work is remarkable.

[@alenale3794]

This video is so enjoyable ❤❤❤ thank you

[@SuperSharkattacks]

thanks for the review of M+M. Gotta say, I could do with about 1/8th the sound effects. Cheers

Tres Bien

Master and Margarita was published a few decades after Bulgakov’s death, his wife finished editing the novel. And I believe it was first published in Italy. The full version became available in Russia only after perestroika.

[@nl3064]

You're thinking Zhivago. Dr. Zhivago was first published in Italy. M&M was serialized in a censored, abridged form in a Russian magazine in the 60's, then in its entirety in Paris.

[@ryokan9120]

Great presentation! Which translation was referenced in this video?

[@stormsummers6682]

This helped for my school essay thanks

[@Amberussianbeauty]

Censorship is happening right now

[@zhouan9570]

Love this channel, sooo annoying! :) books i have read and cannot remember well - and this! I have a pristine copy hard back somewhere given to me by a lover long ago - his favourite book, and I never read it. He was heart broken that I did not, we parted, it has not been read these last decades. I still have it. I will not watch this video :) I may never read this book.

[@mr.t2553]

And so you will have missed something great for the sake of never doing he wanted you to do. That's good he did not ask you to eat!

[@LITTIPS]

This is romantic in a way. But if you ever reconsider, it's truly an amazing work. :) (Apologies for the late reply.)

[@004_tanyasingh8]

Please stop that punching background sound 🙏. It's extremely irritating. But otherwise thank you for the video essay

[@user-be7bx9dn1m]

Зачем унижать автора объяснением романа на уровне анализа Гарри Поттера. Зачем Булгакову писать роман так долго и мучительно ради таких простых тем. Зачем говорить о деталях, на которые акцентировал Булгаков, если все сводится к пониманию Сталин гулаг коммунизм...

[@chrisseal8321]

Unfortunately the narrator loses credence when they can’t even correctly pronounce the names of such literary titans as Goethe and Molière.

[@DavidPowisDow]

It does deduct some credibility. I quick trip to Wikipedia would address that.
