An elegant and mocking foreigner appears in Moscow on a sweltering spring afternoon. He calls himself Woland and is none other than the devil himself, accompanied by an entourage of characters as grotesque as they are charming. With his arrival, the city of Moscow becomes the scene of inexplicable phenomena, satanic entanglements, and Kafkaesque trials that expose the hypocrisy of Soviet society. Meanwhile, a woman named Margarita will make a pact with dark forces to be reunited with her beloved: a writer whom censorship and misery have driven to despair and whom she simply calls the Master. With a dizzying structure that intertwines satire, philosophy, history, and tragic love, The Master and Margarita is much more than a novel: it is a manifesto of spiritual freedom, a narrative heresy, an unclassifiable work that dares to argue with God, power, and death. Published posthumously after decades of censorship, it continues to baffle and enlighten generations of readers.

Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940) was a Russian doctor, playwright, and novelist. Suffocated by Stalinist censorship, he wrote The Master and Margarita in secret for over a decade. His work, a blend of fantasy, political satire, and mysticism, elevated him to the pantheon of the great writers of the 20th century.
