Book Description:

Translation of Mikhail Bulgakov's classic Russian novel. In it, ordinary Moscow citizens of the 1930s are confronted with some extraordinary occurrences when a mysterious "black magician," with several of his cohorts, arrives in town. Written in and about Moscow in the 1930s, this satire perfectly, and in humorous ways, captures the mood of Russians trying to reconcile the excitement of revolutionary change with the harsh realities of Stalinist rule.

Author Biography
Bulgakov, Mikhail Afanasevich (Author)
Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov was a Russian playwright, novelist, and short-story writer best known for his use of humor and satire. He was born in Kiev, Ukraine, on May 15, 1891, and graduated from the Medical School of Kiev University in 1916. He served as a field doctor during World War I.

Bulgakov's association with the Moscow Art Theater began in 1926 with the production of his play The Days of the Turbins, which was based on his novel The White Guard. His work was popular, but since it ridiculed the Soviet establishment, was frequently censored. His satiric novel The Heart of a Dog was not published openly in the U.S.S.R. until 1987.

Bulgakov's plays including Pushkin and Moliere dealt with artistic freedom. His last novel, The Master and Margarita, was not published until 1966-67 and in censored form.

Bulgakov died in Moscow on March 10, 1940.
