Book Review

«Adam and Eve» by Mikhail Bulgakov is a work in which apocalyptic motifs acquire special poignancy and philosophical depth. Bulgakov masterfully constructs an atmosphere of anxiety and hopelessness, immersing the reader in a world where science and human will collide with the relentless force of destruction. Critics note the subtle psychological development of the characters: each is not merely a participant in catastrophe, but a bearer of inner drama, symbolizing the eternal struggle between hope and despair. The language of the play is rich in expressive detail, and the dialogues are filled with hidden meaning, giving the text a special complexity. Bulgakov, true to his style, combines tragedy and irony, prompting reflection on the fragility of human civilization and the inevitability of moral choice. «Adam and Eve» is a work that not only anticipates the themes of later dystopias but also leaves a deep impression on the reader, inviting contemplation on the fate of humanity in a world teetering on the edge of destruction.
