The underground masterpiece of twentieth-century Russian fiction, Mikhail Bulgakovs The Master and Margarita was written during Stalins regime and could not be published until many years after its authors death.When the devil arrives in 1930s Moscow, consorting with a retinue of odd associates-including a talking black cat, an assassin, and a beautiful naked witch-his antics wreak havoc among the literary elite of the world capital of atheism. Meanwhile, the Master, author of an unpublished novel about Jesus and Pontius Pilate, languishes in despair in a pyschiatric hospital, while his devoted lover, Margarita, decides to sell her soul to save him. As Bulgakovs dazzlingly exuberant narrative weaves back and forth between Moscow and ancient Jerusalem, studded with scenes ranging from a giddy Satanic ball to the murder of Judas in Gethsemane, Margaritas enduring love for the Master joins the strands of plot across space and time.Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
