Product Description
by Mijail Bulgakov (Author)
There is no work comparable to The Master and Margarita. One spring afternoon, the Devil steps out of the shadows towards Moscow, dragging fire and chaos with him. Bulgakov's fantastic, funny and devastating satire of Soviet life is combined into two distinct but intertwined parts: one set in 1930s Moscow and the other in 1st century ancient Judea, each filled with historical, imaginary, scary and wonderful characters. Written during the darkest days of Stalin's reign and finally published in 1967, The Master and Margarita became a literary phenomenon that transcended languages and borders. The new translation by Marta Reb is based on the canonical edition by Marietta Chudakova, to which she adds new contributions resulting from her last two years of research.
