'Bulgakov is one of the greatest Russian writers, perhaps the
greatest' Independent Written in secret during the darkest days of
Stalin's reign, The Master and Margarita became an overnight
literary phenomenon when it was finally published it, signalling
artistic freedom for Russians everywhere. Bulgakov's carnivalesque
satire of Soviet life describes how the Devil, trailing fire and
chaos in his wake, weaves himself out of the shadows and into
Moscow one Spring afternoon. Brimming with magic and incident, it
is full of imaginary, historical, terrifying and wonderful
characters, from witches, poets and Biblical tyrants to the
beautiful, courageous Margarita, who will do anything to save the
imprisoned writer she loves. Translated by Richard Pevear and
Larissa Volokhonsky with an Introduction by Richard Pevear
