2022 Programme
Event #3
Alessandro Barbero
Life and fate: Mikhail Bulgakov
Russia had an extremely tragic history during the 19th century but, at the same time, it is a country that gave voice to the greatest poets and writers who reached immeasurable artistic heights despite living in appalling conditions. More than in any other country, the life of the great writers of Russian literature is intertwined with the history of their homeland – a matter of interest both for the historians and for the critics. The first lesson of this series is dedicated to Mikhail Bulgakov, author of one of the immortal masterpieces of the 20th century, The Master and Margarita.
