Book Description
Moscow, 1929: a city that has lost its way amid corruption and fear, inhabited by people who have abandoned their morals and forsaken spirituality. But when a mysterious stranger arrives in town with a bizarre entourage that includes a giant talking cat and a fanged assassin, all hell breaks loose. Among those caught up in the strange and inexplicable events that transpire in the capital are the Master, a writer whose life has been destroyed by Soviet repression, and his beloved Margarita. Their adventures reveal a story that began two thousand years ago in ancient Jerusalem - and its resolution will decide their fate. Translated by Michael Karpelson.

It's hard not to get swept up in this book. It's easily among my favorites, although the translation I have isn't my favorite, the one I originally got from the library, by Michael Glenny is was very good. This one is all right, it's by a good team, but it's not like this is bad, or anything. It's quite the opposite. I'll get around to reading the rest of Bulgakov's work eventually, but I think reading something that he invested himself into as thoroughly as he did this book is enough to sate me for now. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
