'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.

Betyg och recensioner

This is simply one of the best books I have ever read. The story of Margarita, the Master and Pontius Pilate is breath taking. Highly recommended!

Om författaren

Mikhail Bulgakov (1891 - 1940) was born and educated in Kiev where he graduated as a doctor in 1916. He rapidly abandoned medicine to write some of the greatest Russian literature of this century. After a lifetime at odds with the stultifying Soviet regime, he died impoverished and blind in 1940, shortly after completing his masterpiece, The Master and Margarita. None of his major fiction was published during his lifetime.
