The Master and Margarita

Mikhail Bulgakov, 1992

Overview

Mikhail Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita" weaves together the devil and his retinue, a truth-telling poet confined to a mental institution, and a striking retelling of the Pontius Pilate story. This unofficial masterpiece of twentieth-century Soviet fiction, long suppressed in its homeland, offers a glimpse into strange events in 1930s Moscow. It captures the essence of a skeptical, trenchant, and unadulterated voice of dissent.
