The Master and Margarita, written by Mikhail Bulgakov, is a surreal and enchanting Russian romance novel. The story intertwines two narratives: one set in Moscow during the 1930s, where the devil and his entourage wreak havoc on the city, and the other set in ancient Jerusalem, where Pontius Pilate encounters Jesus Christ. Amidst this fantastical backdrop, the novel explores the love story between the Master, a writer, and Margarita, his muse. Bulgakov's imaginative storytelling and thought-provoking themes make The Master and Margarita a truly unique and captivating read.
