5_Il Maestro e Margherita

In a Few Words. The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov – Vol. 4

Classics

Getting passionate about the great classics of literature… even before reading them!

Pierdomenico Baccalario read this novel later in life, pretending, as many do, to have read it before. But then, while reading it for the first time, he adopted that certain indulgence that comes when rereading: that feeling that nothing can truly surprise you. And yet, little by little, The Master enchanted him – even more than the wicked cat – blowing apart, like a powerful tornado, every scaffold, every pretense, and every trick in his personal library…

  • Simple and immediate books, offering the chance to fall in love with the great works of world literature!
  • A reading that surprises those who think they already know everything. Among illusions, twists, and brilliant inventions, a classic that dismantles every certainty and invites you to be amazed, page after page.

From the same series (In a Few Words): Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, adapted by Sarah Rossi; The Betrothed by Alessandro Manzoni, The Late Mattia Pascal by Luigi Pirandello, both adapted by Davide Morosinotto;  Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert, adapted by Pierdomenico Baccalario and The Last Letters of Jacopo Ortis by Guido Sgardoli.
