Ingeniously intertwining narratives, from remorse-ridden Pontius Pilate to a persecuted writer in Stalinist Moscow, Bulgakov's sparkling critique of totalitarianism is a powerful meditation on love, evil, freedom and the greatest magician of all - literature.
A masterpiece - a classic of twentieth-century fiction' New York Times
Bulgakov paints a powerful picture of Stalin's regime in this allegorical classic.
The devil makes a personal appearance in Moscow accompanied by various demons, including a naked girl and a huge black cat. When he leaves, the asylums are full and the forces of law and order are in disarray. Only the Master, a man devoted to truth, and Margarita, the woman he loves, can resist the devil's onslaught.
