The Master And Margarita
Bulgakov, Mikhail
Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita is a fiercely satirical
fantasy that remained unpublished in its author’s home country for over
thirty years. This Penguin Classics edition is translated with an
introduction by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, the acclaimed
translators of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina.
In Soviet Moscow, God is dead, but the devil - to
say nothing of his retinue of demons, from a loudmouthed, gun-toting
tomcat, to the fanged fallen angel Koroviev - is very much alive. As
death and destruction spread through the city like wildfire, condemning
Moscow’s cultural elite to prison cells and body bags, only a madman,
the Master, and Margarita, his beautiful, courageous lover, can hope to
end the chaos. Written in secret during the darkest days of Stalin’s
reign and circulated in samizdat form for decades, when The Master and
the Margarita was finally published it became an overnight literary
phenomenon, signalling artistic freedom for Russians everywhere.
This luminous translation from the complete and
unabridged Russian text is accompanied by an introduction by Richard
Pevear exploring the extraordinary circumstances of the novel’s
composition and publication, and how Bulgakov drew on carnivalesque folk
traditions to create his ironic subversion of Soviet propaganda. This
edition also contains a list of further reading and a note on the text.
After finishing high school, Mikhail Bulgakov
(1891-1940) entered the Medical School of Kiev University, graduating in
1916. He wrote about his experiences as a doctor in his early works
Notes of a Young Country Doctor. His later works treated the subject of
the artist and the tyrant under the guise of historical characters, but
The Master and Margarita is generally considered his masterpiece.
