A towering masterpiece of 20th-century world literature, The Master and Margarita is a darkly comic and surrealist novel that unfolds across two intertwined narratives. In one strand, the Devil — disguised as the mysterious Professor Woland — descends upon Soviet Moscow with his chaotic retinue, wreaking supernatural havoc on the city's corrupt literati and bureaucrats. In the other, a tormented writer known only as the Master has penned a novel about Pontius Pilate and his fateful encounter with Jesus of Nazareth. Bulgakov's masterwork savagely satirises Stalinist society while simultaneously presenting a timeless meditation on cowardice, love, creativity, and the nature of good and evil. Written in secret and suppressed for decades, this is a novel of extraordinary imaginative power — bold, subversive, and hauntingly beautiful.
