The Master and Margarita

"The Master and Margarita" by M. A. Bulgakov is the most amazing and mysterious work of the 20th century. Published in the mid-1960s, this novel amazed readers with the unusual concept, colorfulness and fantastic action, uniting heroes from different eras and cultures. The author created a "novel within a novel", where a religious-historical mystery, dating back to the legend of the crucified Christ, Moscow "buffoonery" and supernatural scenes with characters embodying a certain dark force, which, however, "always wants evil and always does good" are intertwined.
“There is some kind of recklessness in this book, some kind of dying dazzlement of great talent…” wrote Konstantin Simonov in his preface to the first publication of the novel, which revealed to the whole world a great artist, a true Master of words.
