Knowledge = Power

The Master and Margarita


Listen Later

A 50th-anniversary Deluxe Edition of the incomparable 20th-century  masterpiece of satire and fantasy, in a newly revised version of the  acclaimed Pevear and Volokhonsky translation

 
Nothing in the whole of literature compares with The Master and Margarita. One  spring afternoon, the Devil, trailing fire and chaos in his wake,  weaves himself out of the shadows and into Moscow. Mikhail Bulgakov’s  fantastical, funny, and devastating satire of Soviet life combines two  distinct yet interwoven parts, one set in contemporary Moscow, the other  in ancient Jerusalem, each brimming with historical, imaginary,  frightful, and wonderful characters. Written during the darkest days of  Stalin’s reign, and finally published in 1966 and 1967, The Master and Margarita became a literary phenomenon, signaling artistic and spiritual freedom for Russians everywhere.

This newly revised translation, by the award-winning team of Pevear and  Volokhonsky, is made from the complete and unabridged Russian text.
