The novel “The Master and Margarita” is Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov’s calling card. For more than ten years, Bulgakov worked on the book that became his life novel, his novel of destiny, his testament. “The Master and Margarita” has everything: playful mischief and aching sadness, romantic love and a spellbound spell, a magical secret and reckless play with the forces of evil.
