Hailed as a masterpiece of Russian literature, Mikhail Bulgakov's 'The Master and Margarita' is now available in a splendid clothbound edition. This devilishly clever work, penned in secrecy during Stalin's oppressive regime, burst onto the literary scene upon its belated publication, becoming an instant sensation and a beacon of artistic liberation for Russians everywhere.

In this wickedly inventive satire, Bulgakov conjures a fantastical tale of the Devil's arrival in Moscow one fine spring afternoon, leaving a trail of chaos and conflagration in his wake. The narrative weaves a tapestry of the imaginary and historical, populated by an extraordinary cast of characters including witches, poets, Biblical despots, and the indomitable Margarita, whose unwavering love for an imprisoned writer drives her to extraordinary lengths.

Brimming with magical realism and biting wit, 'The Master and Margarita' is a carnival of the absurd, a scathing critique of Soviet society, and a testament to the power of love and artistic freedom. This edition features the acclaimed translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, accompanied by Pevear's illuminating introduction.

As the Independent declares, "Bulgakov is one of the greatest Russian writers, perhaps the greatest." This timeless masterpiece continues to captivate readers with its audacious blend of the supernatural and the satirical, cementing its place in the pantheon of world literature.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
