/lit/ - Literature

Anything like picrel but touching on the problem of Western/modern day PC and cancel culture issues?

Books (besides right wing /pol/ shit) in which the jews are up to no good. Pic related is one.

If only Bulgakov could write a gripping story for more than half the book.

Also fuck the jesus parts

What's up with the second half of this /lit/? I wanted satan's escapades not balls and Jesus.

Just finished it. What the fuck did this book mean? I get that there's some satire of marxism, some critique of Christianity, lots of poking fun at Russian society, but I have no idea how all the symbolism ties together. Would love to hear some people who've read it's interpretations.

this book was the best

i think the song fits because it's playful like the book and i imagine this is something they'd waltz to at the devil's ball

Hey y'all just finished The Master and Margarita a couple weeks ago. I enjoyed it but I'm not quite sure what it's all about. Thoughts?

Hey /lit/, I just finished reading pic related and I haven't had this much fun reading a book in a long time. Please show me other books like it.

Anyone ever read this book? If so, what did you think?

For me one of my top 5 reads so far in my life.

The Master and Margarita was pretty hilarious at points. So was Don Quixote.

Why be a god when you can be a dog.

Best translation of popular Russian works?

about to start this. anything specific i should read or know about russian culture first? i feel like the satire will kinda go over my head if I've got no context

About to start on this.

Is this a good translation? What should I expect? I've heard only good things.

Is it, dare I say it, underrated?

>Start reading The Master and Margarita.
>Second sentence

>One of them, approximately forty years old, dressed in a grey summer suit, was short, dark-haired, plump, bald, and carried his respectable fedora hat in his hand.

>respectable fedora

Fucking meme books

Hi /lit/, /co/ here.

Somebody suggested this book to me, said it would be my style. Am I being rused, or is something cool about to happen?

If Satan is supposed to be evil, then why is he helping people?
If he is supposed to be good, then why does he generally not do anything as a grand mission?
