Description
|
|
|
|
The devil himself appears in Stalin's Moscow, disguised as a magician and accompanied by various demons (including a naked girl and a huge black cat who packs a gun), in Mikhail Bulgakov's acidly satirical masterpiece. They succeed in comically befuddling a population that denies the devil's existence, even as it is confronted with the diabolic results of his handiwork. Only the Master, a man devoted to truth, and Margarita, the woman he loves, can resist the devil's onslaught. In this wild ride, by turns fantastic and ironically philosophical (and suppressed until a quarter-century after Bulgakov's death), the story switches back and forth between 1930s Moscow and 1st-century Jerusalem. This edition offers commentary and an afterword that provide new insight into the mysterious subtexts of the novel, revealing Bulgakov's crowning work in all its complexity. "A stunning, superb allegorical novel—Bulgakov is one of the greatest modern Russian writers, perhaps the greatest."—Independent (London)
