This is what I copy/pasted from an essay about Faust that I received as a private communication. ... In the second part, however, many find themselves in foreign country – much like the science fiction of the 20th century – as the established narrative seems sunken into the ground and the characters suddenly move from Antiquity, through the Middle Ages and into the future. ... |

I'm kinda wishing that Bulkakov wrote a whole story on the passion of Christ. I'm sure I would have found it an immersive experience.

I found a couple of interesting ressources:
http://www.masterandmargarita.eu/en/index.html The myth of Goethe's Faust in The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov http://www.cliffsnotes.com/study_gui...pageNum-1.html I also searched high and wide for a free full version in English of Goethe's Faust, but found only the first part. |

I found a pdf copy scanned in Google books. Just put the following in the Google books search engine and you should get it. "Goethe's Faust, Part 2
By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, John Bathurst Deanne" |

Re the Christ story within the story, I'm not sure yet how it relates to the story as a whole, but I did read in one of my books that when he was writing this book Bulgakov was reading several historical christianity texts that approached Christ from a historical rather than religious perspective. That explains why many of the Biblical trappings are eliminated from his version.
