The Master and Margarita with Illustrations by Sergey Filenko

"The Master and Margarita" is the pinnacle of Mikhail Bulgakov's creativity, exposing eternal themes of love, death, and immortality. The work captivates with its mysteries, intertwining good with evil, comedic with tragic. You hold in your hands a book that waited over twenty years for publication. First published in 1966, Mikhail Bulgakov's devilry absorbed elements of fantasy, philosophy, and satire that provoke thought about the essence of life and the constancy of human feelings. Mystical events occurring in the capital reveal the nature of human passions, vices, and immortal love. Woland and his entourage plunge the city's social life into chaos. The Master and his beloved Margarita endure suffering, face temptations, overcome obstacles, challenging fate. The work is one of the literary gems, touching on issues of human choice, freedom, and art. The plot, familiar to everyone, is organically complemented by the author's graphics of Sergey Filenko, a filmmaker and VGIK graduate, participant in art exhibitions in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Paris, Kemper, and Amsterdam.
