De la ,,Faust’’ la ,,Maestrul și Margareta’’. Completări și distincții
From ’’Faust’’ to ’’The Master and Margarita’’. Annotations and Distinctions.

Summary/Abstract: Since its awakening from the slumbers of primitive instincts, mankind has been accompanied by myth. It constituted a representation of the unexplainable from a non-empirical perspective, clarifying the very existence of the universe. But people evolve, and so did our mythological insight. In this paper we give a brief overview of the representations of the Faustian myth in the work of Johann von Goethe, the one who established the story of Faust as an independent unit in the modern European mythological canon, and in the novel Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, in order to give a parallel demonstration of how it was adapted by this author in the context of the Stalinist era.
