On a hot afternoon in 1930s Russia, a strange foreign gentleman interrupts a conversation between a poet and an editor concerning the existence of Jesus Christ. Within the hour, one of the men has lost his head and the other is chasing the foreign man and his ensemble through the streets of atheist Moscow. Little does he know, he is chasing the Devil himself.With three interwoven storylines, we follow the exploits of Satan and his retinue, the doomed love affair of the Master and Margarita, and the true history of Pontius Pilate. Bulgakov’s masterpiece is one of the greatest Russian novels ever written, and had an enormous social and literary impact immediately following its publication in 1967, nearly thirty years after the authors death. A mixture of satire, allegory, comedy, romance, and autobiography, this novel is incredibly visual, beautifully written, philosophically charged, and offers tremendous insight into the world of the censored artist Communist Russia.
