Description
A soaring and dazzling novel, The Master and Margarita is an audacious revision of two timeless stories. Set against the backdrop of Soviet life in the 1930s, this masterpiece weaves together humor, philosophical depth, and energy to create a truly unforgettable reading experience. In this acclaimed translation by Diana Burgin and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor, Bulgakov's vision of Moscow is brought vividly to life. A retinue of supernatural visitors arrives, bringing chaos and upheaval to the city, yet also bringing peace to two unhappy Muscovites: the Master, a writer pilloried for his novel about Christ and Pontius Pilate; and Margarita, who loves him so deeply that she is willing to risk everything for him. With an afterword and extensive commentary by Ellendea Proffer Teasley, this edition offers a deeper understanding of Bulgakov's work. The Master and Margarita is a novel whose truths have endured long after its publication, with language that has become part of the common Russian speech.
