Get to know the Russian classic The Master and Margarita, a genre-defying blend of political satire and occult mysticism about a visit from the Devil.--The Devil has come to town. But dont worry all he wants to do is stage a magic show. This absurd premise forms the central plot of Mikhail Bulgakovs masterpiece, The Master and Margarita. Its blend of political satire, historical fiction and occult mysticism has earned a legacy as one of the 20th centurys greatest novels and one of its strangest. Alex Gendler explores the subversive novel.Lesson by Alex Gendler, directed by Adriatic Animation.Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterSupport us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagramView full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-should-you-read-the-master-and-margarita-alex-gendlerThank you so much to our patrons for your support!
