Description
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov In this imaginative and satirical novel, Mikhail Bulgakov brings together two seemingly disparate worlds: 1930s Moscow and first-century Jerusalem. The Devil, disguised as a magician, descends upon Moscow with his band, including a talking cat and an expert assassin, to wreak havoc on a population that denies his existence. Meanwhile, a writer, the Master, struggles with his own demons as he writes a novel about Pontius Pilate, and is now a patient in a mental hospital. As the action switches back and forth between these two worlds, Bulgakov's novel constantly surprises and entertains, with a blend of acidly satirical, fantastic, and ironically philosophical elements. The commentary and afterword provide new insight into the mysterious subtexts of the novel, revealing its complexity and depth. This revised edition of The Master and Margarita offers a fresh perspective on a literary phenomenon that has captivated readers for generations.
