The Master and Margarita

The novel The Master and Margarita underwent numerous bans on publication and persecution, no less than the fate of the novel about Pontius Pilate by the Master himself. It was first published in 1966 with cuts in a magazine version,... and the complete text of the novel was published only in the 1980s. Prior to its official publication, it circulated in hand-typed copies and immediately gained incredible popularity and love from readers. A dazzling satire on the life and morals of Moscow in the 1930s, simultaneously a piercing love story of the Master and Margarita and the eternal biblical theme of the struggle between good and evil, a novel about Pontius Pilate within the novel - these are far from all the layers of this genius work by Mikhail Bulgakov.
