Publisher Description
The Devil comes to Moscow; but he isn’t all bad. Pontius Pilate sentences a charismatic leader to his death, but yearns for redemption; and a writer tries to destroy his greatest tale, but discovers that manuscripts don’t burn. Multi-layered and entrancing, blending sharp satire with glorious fantasy, The Master and Margarita is ceaselessly inventive and profoundly moving. In its imaginative freedom and raising of eternal human concerns, it is one of the world’s great novels.
Customer Reviews
Not sure magical realism is the answer
This novel was of interest to me because it interests people I must deal with. The author is no doubt talented, but the work runs the risk of understating the need for action by setting the story at too great a distance from shared reality (both the historical situation in which it arose and the current state of affairs). I may find on a second reading that its parallelism lacks precision.
