Review
A wild surrealistic romp. . . . Brilliantly flamboyant and outrageous. Joyce Carol Oates, The Detroit News
This dark, absurd, and subversive treasure lay hidden for many years, even after Bulgakovs death, such was the fear of reprisal for such a pointed, authentic stab at life under the tyrannical malevolence of Uncle Joe and the withering Soviet climate of the time. Johnny Depp, My Essentials in Entertainment Weeklys Best of the Decade issue (December 11, 2009)
Fine, funny, imaginative . . . . The Master and Margarita stands squarely in the great Gogolesque tradition of satiric narrative. Saul Maloff, Newsweek
The book is by turns hilarious, mysterious, contemplative and poignant. . . . A great work. _Chicago Tribune_
Magnificent . . . a gloriously ironic gothic masterpiece . . . had me rapt with bliss. Patrick McGrath, Guardian (UK)
Funny, devilish, brilliant satire . . . Its literature of the highest order and . . . it will deliver a full measure of enjoyment and enlightenment. _Publishers Weekly_
A rich, funny, moving and bitter novel . . . . Vast and boisterous entertainment. _The New York Times_
A classic of twentieth-century fiction. _The New York Times Book Review_
Product Description
Suppressed in the Soviet Union for twenty-six years, Mikhail Bulgakov's masterpiece is an ironic parable of power and its corruption, good and evil, and human frailty and the strength of love. Featuring Satan, accompanied by a retinue that includes the large, fast-talking, vodka drinking black tom cat Behemoth, the beautiful Margarita, her beloved - a distraught writer known only as the Master - Pontius Pilate, and Jesus Christ, The Master and Margarita combines fable, fantasy, political satire, and slapstick comedy into a wildly entertaining and unforgettable tale that is commonly considered one of the greatest novels ever to come out of the Soviet Union. "A wild surrealistic romp.... Brilliantly flamboyant and outrageous."-Joyce Carol Oates, The Detroit News; "Fine, funny, imaginative.... The Master and Margarita stands squarely in the great Gogolesque tradition of satiric narrative."-Saul Maloff, Newsweek; "Funny, devilish, brilliant satire.... It's literature of the highest order and . . . it will deliver a full measure of enjoyment and enlightenment."-Publisher's Weekly; "A rich, funny, moving and bitter novel.... Vast and boisterous entertainment."-The New York Times

Written during the Soviet crackdown of the 1930s, when Mikhail Bulgakov's works were effectively banned, it wraps its anti-Stalinist message in a complex allegory of good and evil. Or would tha

SUMMARY: Written during the darkest, most repressive period of Stalin's reign, this novel gives substance to the notion of artistic and religious freedom. Although Bulgakov completed his masterpiece in 1940, it was not published until 1966, twenty-six years after his death, when the first section ap
