Diaboliad

The five, irreverant, satirical and imaginative stories contained in Diaboliad caused an uproar upon the book's first publication in 1925. Full of invention, they display Bulgakov's breathtaking stylistic range, moving at dizzying speed from grotesque satire to science fiction, from the plainest realism to the most madcap fantasy.

Cele cinci povesti, ireverente, satirice si imaginative continute in Diaboliad au starnit valva la prima aparitie a cartii in 1925. Pline de inventie, ele afiseaza gama stilistica uluitoare a lui Bulgakov, trecand cu o viteza ametitoare de la satira grotesc la science fiction, de la cel mai simplu realism la cea mai nebuna fantezie.
