Bulgakov spent more than ten years working on this novel knowing
that it could never be published (the full text was not published
in Moscow until 33 years after the author's death). This is a truly
subversive novel. It is a dazzling construction of three different
stories, told in different tones, overlapping and intersecting each
other to create a dense, sometimes bewildering, fantasy. To
summarize the plot: in Judea Pontius Pilate is faced with
interrogating a Jewish rabbi while in Moscow the Devil has arrived,
accompanied by a large black cat who proves a poor shot with an
automatic... A marvellous, magical book. (Kirkus UK)
"My favorite novel -it's just the greatest explosion of
imagination, craziness, satire, humor, and heart." Daniel
Radcliffe. The devil with his retinue, a poet incarcerated in a
mental institution for speaking the truth, and a startling
re-creation of the story of Pontius Pilate, constitute the elements
out of which Mikhail Bulgakov wove The Master and Margarita, the
unofficial masterpiece of twentieth-century Soviet fiction. Long
suppressed in its native land, this account of strange doings in
Moscow in the 1930s provides us with the essence of the sceptical,
trenchant, unadulterated voice of dissent
