What They're Saying
Critics Review
Funny and frightening
Funny and frightening * London Review of Books *Incandescent … One of those novels that, even in translation, make you feel that not one word could have been written differently … It has too many achievements to list, but the way it keeps faith in love and art even in moments of unspeakable humiliation and cruelty must be the greatest * New York Times *It had everything: Satan and a wise-cracking cat, Jesus as a wise simpleton, doomed love, hints of sex, blasphemy – Jonathan Grimwood * Independent *I read it as a book about how to go on living when your spirit is broken – Viv Groskop * Guardian *
About The Author
Mikhail Bulgakov
Mikhail Bulgakov was born in 1891 in Kiev, in present-day Ukraine. He first trained in medicine but gave up his profession as a doctor to pursue writing. He started working on The Master and Margarita in 1928 but due to censorship it was not published until 1966, more than twenty-five years after Bulgakov’s death.
