The Master And Margarita - Thryft
The Master And Margarita - Thryft

Supernatural satire on Soviet life.

This book could be a good read for those interested in Russian literature and the historical context of Stalin's reign. The blend of magical and realistic elements makes it a unique read, and the satire on Soviet life adds a distinct aspect to the book. Overall, the book takes readers on a magical journey through two different settings and highlights major ethical concerns.

Description

A masterful translation of one of the great novels of the 20th centuryNothing in the whole of literature compares with The Master and Margarita. Full of pungency and wit, this luminous work is Bulgakov’s crowning achievement, skilfully blending magical and realistic elements, grotesque situations and major ethical concerns. Written during the darkest period of Stalin’s repressive reign and a devastating satire of Soviet life, it combines two distinct yet interwoven parts, one set in contemporary Moscow, the other in ancient Jerusalem, each brimming with incident and with historical, imaginary, frightful and wonderful characters. Although completed in 1940, The Master and Margarita was not published until 1966 when the first section appeared in the monthly magazine Moskva. Russians everywhere responded enthusiastically to the novel’s artistic and spiritual freedom and it was an immediate and enduring success. This new translation has been made from the complete and unabridged Russian text.Source: penguinrandomhouse.com
