Mikhail Bulgakov's masterpiece, The Master and Margarita, is a daring and surreal satire of Soviet life. The novel weaves together three storylines: the Devil's visit to 1930s Moscow, the tale of Pontius Pilate and Jesus Christ, and the love story of a persecuted writer, the Master, and his devoted lover, Margarita. Bulgakov masterfully blends fantasy, dark humor, and profound philosophical questions about good, evil, cowardice, and redemption in this unforgettable literary classic, which was censored for decades before its publication.
