Mikhail Bulgakov: The master and Margarita

Beskrivelse

Nothing in the whole of literature compares with The Master and Margarita. One spring afternoon; the Devil; trailing fire and chaos in his wake; weaves himself out of the shadows and into Moscow. Mikhail Bulgakov’s fantastical; funny; and devastating satire of Soviet life combines two distinct yet interwoven parts; one set in contemporary Moscow; the other in ancient Jerusalem; each brimming with historical; imaginary; frightful; and wonderful characters. Written during the darkest days of Stalin’s reign; and finally published in 1966 and 1967; The Master and Margarita became a literary phenomenon; signaling artistic and spiritual freedom for Russians everywhere.
