«The Master and Margarita» is the satirical and fantastical novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (432 pages, in English).
«The Master and Margarita» interweaves two stories: the devil, with a retinue that includes the talking black cat Behemoth, arrives in Stalinist Moscow; in parallel, the trial of Jesus before Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem is recreated. A fantastical satire on power, corruption, good and evil, and the power of love.
Translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, in the Penguin Modern Classics series. Work originally written in Russian and published after Bulgakov's death.
For readers of Russian literary classics, political satire and magical realism.
