The Master and Margarita

by Mikhail Bulgakov

The Devil arrives in Soviet Moscow with his retinue, wreaking havoc while staging Goethe's Faust and intertwining with the story of Pontius Pilate. Bulgakov's masterwork is a savage satire of Stalinist society, a meditation on art and power, and a love story that transcends persecution. Banned for decades, it remains one of the most daring and imaginative novels of the twentieth century.
