Mikhail Bulgakov (1891–1940) was a Russian writer, medical doctor, and playwright active in the first half of the 20th century. He is best known for his novel The Master and the Margarita, published posthumously, which has been called one of the masterpieces of the 20th century. Bulgakov wrote many other works for the stage, including this play titled “Molière, or the Conspiracy of the Saints”.
