Title:
Why should you read "The Master and Margarita"?
Speaker:
Alex Gendler
Description:

The Devil has come to town. But don't worry– all he wants to do is stage a magic show. This absurd premise forms the central plot of Mikhail Bulgakov's masterpiece, "The Master and Margarita." Its blend of political satire, historical fiction and occult mysticism has earned a legacy as one of the 20th century's greatest novels– and one of its strangest. Alex Gendler explores the subversive novel. [Directed by Adriatic Animation, narrated by Adrian Dannatt, music by Jure Buljević].
