Description for Diaboliad
Paperback. Contains five satirical stories. Num Pages: 208 pages. BIC Classification: FC; FYB; FYT. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 199 x 132 x 14. Weight in Grams: 160.
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. Diaboliad is a wonderful introduction to literature's most uncategorisable and subversive genius.
