The writer's great and timeless novel endured numerous bans and persecutions, no worse than the fate of the Master's own novel about Pontius Pilate. It was first published in 1966, with excerpts, in a magazine version, and the full text was not published until the 1980s. Before its official publication, it was distributed in hand-printed copies and immediately gained incredible popularity and reader love. A fantastic satire on the life and customs of Moscow in the 1930s, simultaneously a poignant love story between the Master and Margarita and the eternal biblical theme of the struggle between good and evil, a novel about Pontius Pilate within a novel—these are far from all the layers of this brilliant work by Mikhail Bulgakov. 3 reasons to buy this book: 1.
