A masterpiece of magical surrealism, a triumph of the imagination.' - "Sunday Telegraph", Books of the Century. From the Publisher 'A stunning, superb allegorical novel-Bulgakov is one of the greatest modern Russian writers, perhaps the greatest' Independent --This text refers to the Paperback edition. From the Back Cover One of the great imaginative novels of the century, a fierce political satire, filled with the most dazzling surreal humour. The devil makes a personal appearance in Moscow accompanied by two demons, a naked girl and a huge black cat. When he leaves, the asylums are full and the forces of law and order in disarray. Only the Master, a man devoted to truth, and Margarita, the woman he loves, remain undiminished. The Master and Margarita is Bulgakov's last and most celebrated novel, completed in 1938 at the height of Stalin's purges and published for the first time in Russia in 1966. "A masterpiece ... a classic of twentieth-century fiction" New York Times --This text refers to the Paperback edition. About the Author 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. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
