The Master And Margarita

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.
