  TRANSLATED BY MICHAEL GLENNY. The devil makes a personal appearance in Moscow accompanied by various demons, including a naked girl and a huge black cat. When he leaves, the asylums are full and the forces of law and order in disarray. Only the Master, a man devoted to truth, and Margarita, the woman he loves, can resist the devil's onslaught.

  There is a rising concern about how town centres seem to have lost many of their traditional functions - as meeting places, as centres of social, political and cultural life, and as the very focus of the urban public realm. They seem to have become shopping and commercial centres by day and near-deserted ghost towns by night.

  My favorite novel -it's just the greatest explosion of imagination, craziness, satire, humor, and heart. (Daniel Radcliffe). The devil with his retinue, a poet incarcerated in a mental institution for speaking the truth, and a startling re-creation of the story of Pontius Pilate, constitute the elements out of which Mikhail Bulgakov wove The Master and Margarita, the unofficial masterpiece of twentieth-century Soviet fiction. Long suppressed in its native land, this account of strange doings in Moscow in the 1930s provides us with the essence of the sceptical, trenchant, unadulterated voice of dissent.
