Sobre la ciudad desciende Satán bajo la forma de un profesor de ciencias ocultas, y suceden prodigios que trastornan la vida de los moscovitas.

Un texto libérrimo, que escapa por todas sus costuras, una rebelión de la imaginación frente al corsé estalinista, un desafío.»Marcos Ordóñez, BabeliaENGLISH DESCRIPTIONNothing in the whole of literature compares with The Master and Margarita. One spring afternoon, the Devil, trailing fire and chaos in his wake, weaves himself out of the shadows and into Moscow.Mikhail Bulgakov’s fantastical, funny, and devastating satire of Soviet life combines two distinct yet interwoven parts, one set in contemporary Moscow, the other in ancient Jerusalem, each brimming with historical, imaginary, frightful, and wonderful characters.Written during the darkest days of Stalin’s reign, and finally published in 1966 and 1967, The Master and Margarita became a literary phenomenon, signaling artistic and spiritual freedom for Russians everywhere.

Set in Moscow of the 1920s, this satirical novel recounts the dealings that a writer and his mistress have with Satan, in a work that weaves together satire, realism, art, religion, history and contemporary social values.
