  It is hard for me to put myself into someone else's shoes, coming from a different cultural background... there are works that are soo deeply rooted in particular reality that they can't exist outside of it. I would definitely put works like 12 Chairs in that category - if you don't have first hand experience with the dreary early Soviet life most of it will be lost on you.

  M&M I do not consider quite that sort of a work. While there is an undeniable mundane cultural element in it, it also speaks universal language... methink. But perhaps the scenes of Soviet life do get in the way, I dunno.

  Bulgakov's work is universally considered important, so it definitely makes sense to try again, of course getting the translation that is best.

      At $7 from Amazon, what do you have to lose? I am curious to see how it preserved the music.
