The Master and Margarita (Vintage Magic) - Tapa blanda

"It is a hymn to the imagination" (Desmond O'Grady)

"This book is absorbing, brilliant slapstick, and looks deep in to the heart of fantasy and longing" (Sunday Times)

"Stunning, superb...Bulgakov is one of the greatest Russian writers, perhaps the greatest" (Independent)

"A masterpiece-a classic of twentieth-century fiction" (New York Times)

"A marvellous writer" (Michael Frayn)

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.
