The master and margarita/mihail bulgakov

Bulgakov paints an excellent picture of Stalins regime in this allegorical masterpiece.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY WILL SELF The devil makes a personal appearance in Moscow accompanied by various demons, including a naked girl and a huge black cat.

When he leaves, the asylums are full and the forces of law and order are in disarray.

Only the Master, a man devoted to truth, and Margarita, the woman he loves, can resist the devils onslaught.
