A graphic adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov’s cult classic The Devil arrives in Moscow, accompanied by a bizarre band of acolytes: a witch, an assassin, and a talking cat. Together, they systematically wreak havoc in the Russian capital. Caught up in the chaos are two lovers: the Master, a writer broken by criticisms of his novel about Pontius Pilate, and Margarita, for whom the Devil has his own plans. At once a love story, a meditation on the nature of good and evil, and a brilliant satire of mid-20th-century Soviet life, The Master and Margarita was initially banned by the very bureaucracy it criticized.

Světově proslulý román Mistr a Markétka, na němž ruský prozaik a dramatik Michail Bulgakov (1891-1940) začal pracovat koncem dvacátých let a který dokončil, již zcela vyčerpaný a téměř slepý, pouhých několik dní před smrtí, náleží do zlatého fondu světové literatury a je právem považován za jedno z nejpozoruhodnějších literárních děl 20. století. Ačkoli se začalo rodit již téměř před sto lety, jde o dílo stále živé - dílo, které čtenářské publikum nepřestává okouzlovat, ba fascinovat již po řadu generací.Mistra a Markétku lze charakterizovat jako mnohovrstevnatou magicko-realistickou fantaskní grotesku zasazenou do veskrze reálných - a z dnešního hlediska zcela absurdních - poměrů, které v Sovětském svazu panovaly na přelomu dvacátých a třicátých let minulého století. Lze jej číst jako mistrovskou satiru na dobové pořádky, ale také jako důmyslnou variaci na faustovské téma, svéráznou filozofickou alegorii a především jako strhující příběh nikdy nekončícího střetávání dobra se zlem, viny a neviny, odvahy a zbabělosti, který nám skýtá nejen mimořádný čtenářský zážitek, ale také nás ponouká k tomu, abychom spolu s autorem hledali odpovědi na základní otázky lidského bytí.Michail Bulgakov se vydání svého vrcholného díla nedočkal, román poprvé vyšel až čtvrtstoletí po jeho smrti, navíc v okleštěné a cenzurované podobě.Kniha vychází v překladu naší ...

Kiev - Kyiv - is in chaos. Russia has withdrawn from World War I but the Germans have set up a puppet government in Ukraine. Civil war rages: the Bolsheviks have seized power in Russia, but the anti-revolutionary White Guard who have fled to Ukraine, are rallying to resist. In the meantime, Ukrainian nationalists are camped outside the capital, and a Red army is on its way to bring everyone to heel. While all this is going on, the Turbin family try to eke out their existence in Kyiv and discuss what they should do. They are exactly the sort of family - monarchist intelligentsia - for whom the future looks particularly menacing.Bulgakov''s brilliant and evocative prose brings the city and the moment unforgettably to life and sheds some fascinating light on the complex interwoven histories of Ukraine and Russia.

How his alter-ego copes (or fails to cope) with the new and often appalling responsibilities of a lone doctor in a vast country practice - on the eve of Revolution - is described in Bulgakov''s delightful blend of candid realism and imaginative exuberance.

Set in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev during the chaotic winter of 1918–19, The White Guard, Bulgakov’s first full-length novel, tells the story of a Russian-speaking family trapped in circumstances that threaten to destroy them. As in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, the narrative centres on the stark contrast between the cosy domesticity of family life on the one hand, and wide-ranging and destructive historical events on the other.The result is a disturbing, often shocking story, illuminated, however, by shafts of light that testify to people’s resilience, humanity and ability to love in even the most adverse circumstances.

Scholarly literature, both Czech and foreign, presents various ideas concerning ascribing particular pieces of art to this unknown figure, the date of their origin and their chronology, artistic ideological points of departure of his work and the reconstruction and origin of the "Třeboň altarpiece." Art historian Jan Royt's extensive scientific monograph on the Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece is an attempt to answer these questions. The introductory chapters outline the historical events and development of painting in Europe and in Bohemia in the last third of the 14th century, including the spiritual background of the time.

Go is a game of strategy in which two players attempt to surround each other''s black or white stones. Simple in its fundamentals, infinitely complex in its execution, it is an essential expression of the Japanese sensibility. And in his fictional chronicle of a match played between a revered and invincible Master and a younger, more progressive challenger, Yasunari Kawabata captured the moment in which the immutable traditions of imperial Japan met the onslaught of the twentieth century.The competition between the Master of Go and his opponent, Otaké, is waged over several months and layered in ceremony. But beneath the game''s decorum lie tensions that consume not only the players themselves but their families and friends - tensions that turn this particular contest into a duel that can only end in one man''s death. Luminous in its detail, both suspenseful and serene, The Master of Go is an elegy for an entire society, written with the poetic economy and psychological acumen that brought Kawabata the Nobel Prize for Literature.
