  • "One of the great imaginative novels of the century, a fierce political satire, filled with the most dazzling surreal humour. The devil makes a personal appearance in Moscow accompanied by two demons, a naked girl and a huge black cat. When he leaves, the asylums are full and the forces of law and order in disarray. Only the Master, a man devoted to truth, and Margarita, the woman he loves, remain undiminished."
  • "Set in Moscow of the 1920's, this satirical novel recounts the dealings a writer and his mistress have with Satan."
  • "Le diable, se promenant dans les rues de Moscou, dévoile les hypocrisies, réveille les consciences. Un diable curieux qui, éternellement, veut le mal et accomplit le bien."
  • "In an updated version of the Faust story, the devil and his minions pay 1920's Moscow a visit and wreak havoc on the artistic community. Bulgakov's satire was banned in Russia by Stalin, and only published in England 27 years after the author's death."
  • "Written during the worst years of Stalinist oppression, the true meaning of this book will be hotly debated amongst scholars ; complicated by the various extant versions, some of which were hidden for years, the presence of Satan, black cats and black humour, mean that this work can be enjoyed in its own right, without recourse to identifying characters with real life persons."

  • "The devil, disguised as a magician, descends upon Moscow in the 1930s with his riotous band, which includes a talking cat and an expert assassin. Together they succeed in comically befuddling a population which denies the devil's existence, even as it is confronted with the diabolic results of a magic act gone wrong. This visit to the capital of world atheism has several aims, one of which concerns the fate of the Master, a writer who has written a novel about Pontius Pilate, and is now in a mental hospital. Margarita, the despairing and daring heroine, becomes a witch in an effort to save the Master, and agrees to become the devil's hostess at his annual spring ball. By turns acidly satiric, fantastic, and ironically philosophical, this work constantly surprises and entertains, as the action switches back and forth between the Moscow of the 1930s and first-century Jerusalem."

  • ""Suppressed in Russia for twenty-six years, here is Mikhail Bulgakov's great novel in which he combines fable, satanic fantasy, political satire, and slapstick comedy to create an ironic parable on power and its corruption, on good and evil, human frailty, and the strength of love."--Back cover."

  • "Mikhail Bulgakov's devastating satire of Soviet life was written during the darkest period of Stalin's regime. Combining two distinct yet interwoven parts-one set in ancient Jerusalem, one in contemporary Moscow-the novel veers from moods of wild theatricality with violent storms, vampire attacks, and a Satanic ball; to such somber scenes as the meeting of Pilate and Yeshua, and the murder of Judas in the moonlit garden of Gethsemane; to the substanceless, circus-like reality of Moscow. Its central characters, Woland (Satan) and his retinue-including the vodka-drinking, black cat, Behemoth; the poet, Ivan Homeless; Pontius Pilate; and a writer known only as The Master, and his passionate companion, Margarita-exist in a world that blends fantasy and chilling realism, an artful collage of grostesqueries, dark comedy, and timeless ethical questions."
  • "The devil comes to Moscow wearing a fancy suit. With his disorderly band of accomplices - including a demonic, gun-toting tomcat - he immediately begins to create havoc. Margarita discovers that her lover has vanished in the chaos. Making a bargain with the devil, she decides to try a little black magic of her own to save the man she loves."@en
  • "Toneelbewerking van de bekende satire op het communisme van de Russische schrijver (1891-1940)."
  • "An audacious revision of the stories of Faust and Pontius Pilate, The Master and Margarita is recognized as one of the essential classics of modern Russian literature. The novel's vision of Soviet life in the 1930s is so ferociously accurate that it could not be published during its author's lifetime and appeared only in a censored edition in the 1960s. Its truths are so enduring that its language has become part of the common Russian speech. One hot spring, the devil arrives in Moscow, accompanied by a retinue that includes a beautiful naked witch and an immense talking black cat with a fondness for chess and vodka. The visitors quickly wreak havoc in a city that refuses to believe in either God or Satan. But they also bring peace to two unhappy Muscovites: one is the Master, a writer pilloried for daring to write a novel about Christ and Pontius Pilate; the other is Margarita, who loves the Master so deeply that she is willing literally to go to hell for him. What ensues is a novel of inexhaustible energy, humor, and philosophical depth, a work whose nuances emerge for the first time in Diana Burgin's and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor's splendid English version."
  • ""Écrit sous la terreur par un homme malade et désespéré, 'Le Maître et Marguerite' a mis vingt-cinq ans pour s'imposer comme l'un des chefs-d'œuvre de la littérature russe et devenir un livre culte dont la construction diabolique n'a pas fini d'enchanter les lecteurs. Comment définir un mythe ? Les personnages de ce roman fantastique sont le diable, un écrivain suicidaire, un chat géant, Jésus et Ponce Pilate, la plus belle femme du monde... On y trouve des meurtres atroces et des crucifixions. C'est une satire acerbe, une comédie burlesque, une parodie politique, un poème philosophique dévastateur avec des fantômes et des transformations magiques. Mais cette fantasmagorie baroque, ce film noir, cette vision d'apocalypse est aussi l'une des plus belles histoires d'amour jamais écrites." [Source : 4e de couv., tirage 2008]."
  • "Dílo s originální koncepcí, mísící realitu s fantazií a pohádkou, zachycuje na pozadí osudů umělce, nepochopeného a zamítnutého oficiálními literárními institucemi, všeobecně lidský spor Dobra se Zlem, ve formě umělcova románukonflikt svědomí Piláta Pontského v souvislosti s odsouzením Ježíšovým a posléze fantastický vpád Ďábla do počestného života Moskvanů. Celkově vyjadřuje tento román pocity moderního člověka, a to víru v nepřetržité trváníhumanitních myšlenek, ale také skepsi v hodnocení průměrného člověka současnosti."
  • "Der Teufel persönlich stürzt Moskau in ein Chaos aus Hypnose, Spuk und Zerstörung. Die Heimsuchung für Heuchelei und Korruption trifft alle - ausgenommen zwei Gerechte - Bulgakows Hauptwerk ist, in der Tradition von Goethes 'Faust', Dostojewskis 'Die Brüder Karamasow' und Thomas Manns 'Doktor Faustus' längst ein Klassiker der literarischen Moderne. Michail Bulgakow wurde am 15. Mai 1891 in Kiew geboren und starb am 10. März 1940 in Moskau. Nach einem Medizinstudium arbeitete er zunächst als Landarzt, zog aber dann nach Moskau, um sich ganz der Literatur zu widmen. Er gilt als einer der grössten russischen Satiriker und hatte zeitlebens unter der stalinistischen Zensur zu leiden. Seine zahlreichen Dramen durften nicht aufgeführt werden, seine bedeutendsten Prosawerke konnten erst nach seinem Tod veröffentlicht werden."
