Mikhail Bulgakov

Mikhail Bulgakov was a Russian writer and playwright, best known for his novel "The Master and Margarita." Born in 1891, he lived through the Russian Revolution and faced censorship due to his criticism of Soviet society. His works often blend fantasy, satire, and philosophical themes, exploring the nature of good and evil, love, and artistic freedom. "The Master and Margarita," published posthumously, features a visit from the Devil to Moscow and intertwines the story of the crucifixion of Christ. Bulgakov's unique style and profound insights have earned him a prominent place in 20th-century literature.
