Brilliant submitted by dumusicgirl on August 6, 2013, 8:54pm This is a wonderful book. I was assigned it for a literature course in college and have devoured every other Bulgakov book since. Such a classic!

One of the Greatest Russian Novels submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on July 20, 2020, 9:09am The Devil comes to Moscow and, yes, makes trouble, along with a cat shooting six-guns and an accomplice who disappears when he turns sideways. However, Satan also helps the Master, a tormented writer, recover a manuscript he'd written and burned.

Totally worth the difficult task.

Stalin didn't like the novel.

Spectacular submitted by courtneyhooper on August 10, 2022, 9:29pm Clever and witty, smirking with political metaphor and symbolism. I wish a definitive translation would be published—it seems it will forever be disputed and lie outside the “canon.”
