Description
Bulgakov's masterpiece of magical realism, The Master and Margarita, is a powerful satire of Soviet life. Written in secret during the darkest days of Stalin's reign, this novel became an overnight literary phenomenon when it was finally published, signaling artistic freedom for Russians everywhere.
Set against the backdrop of a Moscow Spring afternoon, the story follows the Devil as he weaves himself out of the shadows and into the city, leaving a trail of fire and chaos in his wake. Brimming with magic and incident, the novel is full of imaginary, historical, and terrifying characters, including the beautiful and courageous Margarita, who will stop at nothing to save the imprisoned writer she loves.
Translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky with an Introduction by Richard Pevear, this Penguin Classics edition brings Bulgakov's masterpiece to a new generation of readers.
