* Description:
Słynne dzieło Michaiła Bułhakowa i jedna z najważniejszych powieści XX wieku.

„Mistrz i Małgorzata” – jak wiele genialnych utworów – wymyka się jednoznacznemu opisowi, prowokując mnogość interpretacji. Ta powieść szkatułkowa, bogata w odniesienia do literatury światowej, wciąż zadziwia bogactwem tematyki. Znaleźć w niej można rozważania na temat kondycji sztuki, echa nieustannego konfliktu twórcy z otoczeniem, klasyczny filozoficzny motyw walki dobra ze złem, ale także ciętą satyrę oraz ironiczne odniesienia do ocierającej się wielokrotnie o absurd radzieckiej rzeczywistości lat 30. A także – rzecz jasna – cudowny wątek miłosny tytułowych Mistrza i Małgorzaty, który dla wielu czytelników jest jedną z największych zalet tej książki.

The truth is probably that we librarians have too few volunteers, wich creates a long backlog.
Also, many of us prefer to add new books over new editions, I'm afraid.
This book, however, has been added by someone else before I had the chance to do so (but only two days ago): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


Mr Peter (pitter75) | 15 comments Thank you. I don't mind waiting a bit for the book to be added but the agony of waiting would be alleviated if there was any kind of feedback during that time, so I would know what to expect. What worries me though is that choice of what to add is a matter of librarian's personal preference which inevitably puts new editions in non-English languages at a disadvantage.

Elon | 1967 comments Yeah, I know. But with so many requests, much feedback is also not prioritized. Goodreads should need to hire (more?) people to help to catch up even slightly.
But this is why I generally try to prioritize Scandinavian editions - they're the ones I easier can confirm ar correct, and are often forgotten by others.
