THE ORIGINAL AND BEST TRANSLATION BY MICHAEL GLENNY 50th Anniversary
Edition Afterwards, when it was frankly too late, descriptions were issued
of the man- expensive grey suit, grey beret, one green eye and the other
black. He arrives in Moscow one hot summer afternoon with various alarming
accomplices, including a demonic, fast-talking 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 devil's onslaught. Brilliant and blackly comic, The Master and
Margarita was repressed by Stalin's authorities and only published after
the author's death. The Vintage Classic Russians Series- Published for the
100th anniversary of the 1917 Russian Revolution, these are must-have,
beautifully designed editions of six epic masterpieces that have survived
controversy, censorship and suppression to influence decades of thought and
artistic expression.
