Publisher Description
IT’S MOSCOW IN THE 1930s, AND ALL BREAKS LOOSE . . .
. . . when a mysterious “black magician” and his entourage pay a visit to this capital of the Soviet Union. Inspired by Goethe’s ‘Faust,’ and an inspiration to Mick Jagger for the lyrics to the song ‘Sympathy for the Devil,’ this Soviet-Russian novel stands as one of the greatest works of literature from the 20th century. Bulgakov brilliantly blends the ordinary and the extraordinary, comic and dark, mundane and fantastic, to give a true portrait of a society trying to to reconcile the excitement of revolutionary change with the harsh reality of Communist Party rule under Joseph Stalin.
EVERY COLLECTION OF THE BEST LITERATURE OF THE 2Oth CENTURY SHOULD INCLUDE THIS TITLE
Meticulously translated to capture every shade of meaning intended by Bulgakov, while making it as enjoyable to the English language reader of today as it was to a Russian reading it when it was first published more than 50 years ago.
