Description

Moscow, 1938. A city where humour is a luxury and freedom is a distant memory. In this treacherous landscape, Mikhail Bulgakov finds himself at the centre of a sinister plot.

He's offered a commission to write a play about Stalin's sixtieth birthday, but at what cost? This poisoned chalice presents a daunting challenge: to create something that will celebrate the leader's life without betraying his regime. Will Bulgakov find a way to express himself freely, or will he be silenced by the very system he's trying to critique?

This tense and thought-provoking novel is a powerful exploration of art and politics in one of history's most repressive regimes.
