Many Russian classics delve into the profound depths of the human soul, often portraying the horrors of the Gulag. However, "The Master and Margarita" stands as a refreshing exception, undoubtedly the most uplifting among Russian classics—a blend of humor, profundity, and a must-read experience. Despite its acknowledgment as a 20th-century masterpiece and a pinnacle of magical realism, it remains surprisingly unknown to many well-read individuals.

Written in the 1930s but published in the 1960s, the novel unfolds as a surreal masterpiece. The devil, Woland, and his bizarre entourage disrupt Moscow's literary elite, initiating a series of fantastical events. The story intertwines the narratives of Berlioz's tragic fate and the experiences of Ivan Bezdomny, a poet ending up in a lunatic asylum. The Master, a writer imprisoned for his novel about Jesus Christ and Pontius Pilate, becomes pivotal in connecting the narrative threads.

As Woland orchestrates magic shows and Margarita, the Master's mistress, embraces witchcraft, the novel unfolds with delightful absurdity. The narrative navigates Good Friday, Christ's crucifixion, and Margarita's supernatural flights across Moscow and the USSR. The novel's wit, satire, and comedic elements provide a unique lens into the dark societal critique woven throughout.

Despite its complexity and quasi-religious themes, "The Master and Margarita" emanates a lightness of tone. Bulgakov's satire targets the literati, offering a humorous reckoning for those who dismissed the Master's work. The novel's optimistic core suggests that finding humor in adversity is paramount. Bulgakov, living through tumultuous times, captured the essence of a cosmic joke where life's absurdity is illuminated through laughter.

Bulgakov's life mirrored the challenges faced by his characters. Writing clandestinely during a period of political repression, he confronted constant threats, health issues, and the fear of never completing his masterpiece. "The Master and Margarita" remained unpublished during his lifetime, its significance emerging only after the oppressive Soviet regime.

The novel symbolizes dissidence, serving as a potent catalyst for liberation from the hypnotic order of Soviet life. Bulgakov's work invites contemplation on good and evil, light and darkness, urging readers to navigate moral choices amidst chaos. Ultimately, "The Master and Margarita" stands as a testament to the power of literature, providing solace, humor, and a unique perspective on the human condition. by Kaja Popko

Budha Aadmi Aur Samudra (Hindi Translation of The Old Man And The Sea)

'बूढ़ा आदमी और समुद्र' उपन्यास एक बूढ़े गरीब मछुआरे के जीवन-संघर्ष की कहानी है। मछली पकडऩे जाना, मछली पकडऩे की कोशिश करना, उस कोशिश में कामयाब होना, फिर इस सफलता को अंजाम तक लाने की जद्दोजहद का नाम है 'बूढ़ा आदमी और समुद्र'।

एक मछुआरे के जीवन-संघर्ष की यह दास्तान काल, समय और सीमा के बंधन से परे है। यह मछुआरा दुनिया के हर कोने में मौजूद है— अपने परिवेश से जूझता हुआ बिना किसी आक्रोश के, बिना किसी तिरस्कार भाव के। शायद यह मछुआरा एक विकसित आत्मा भी है। उसके सारे मनोभाव तात्कालिक हैं। वह समुद्र से, चिडिय़ों से और मछलियों से संवाद करता है। विषम परिस्थितियाँ उसे विचलित नहीं करतीं। उसकी जिजीविषा मरजीवड़े से कम नहीं।

प्रकृति और मनुष्य के अंतर्संबंधों को बयान करता हुआ अर्नेस्ट हेमिंग्वे का यह उपन्यास निश्चित ही एक कालजयी रचना है तो फिर हम हिंदी के पाठक इससे क्यों वंचित रहते। अस्तु! Buy Now : https://www.amazon.in/Budha-Aadmi-Samudra-Hindi-Translation/dp/9355214626

In conclusion, Victor Frankenstein is a horrible father who should never be allowed to have children. This man created life only to abandon his creation on day 1 just because he looked bad. Sir, you made him take responsibility and raise him at least pay for child support. Hell, at least give him a name. Then, his argument for not giving him a companion is “oh no you’re a terrible creature who has done evil things I can’t make more of you.” It’s like he didn’t even listen to what his creation had to say. Maybe the creature wouldn’t do evil things if you bothered to teach him morals. Anyway, I want to give this creature a hug because that’s rough.

I decided to read Virginia Woolf's "Mrs Dalloway", because it is a classic. In it, Mrs Dalloway is preparing to host a party and thinking about her history with all the party guests. It clearly shows Woolf's empathy and insight into human nature, but I did not enjoy the stream of consciousness narrative structure at all. #reading #literature #books #novel #LiteraryFiction #MrsDalloway #VirginiaWoolf #bookworm #BookReview #52BookChallenge #Book53of52 #ReadingChallenge #BookChallenge #52BookChallenge2021 #BookChallenge2021 #ReadingChallenge2021 #bookstagram #BookLover #LiteraryClassics #ClassicLiterature https://www.instagram.com/darylhb/p/CYJhNiDo9rB/?utm_medium=tumblr
