by Mikhail Bulgakov

Translated by Edward Kemp

Please note this book can take up to 10 days to be dispatched.

A mysterious stranger appears in a Moscow park. Soon he and his retinue have astonished the locals with the magic show to end all magic shows. But why are they really here, and what has it got todo with the beautiful Margarita, or her lover, the Master, a silenced writer? A carnival for the senses and a diabolical extravaganza, this most exuberant of Russian novels was staged in this adaptation at Chichester Festival Theatre.

"Edward Kemp’s astute adaptation makes all the right adjustments... the work’s mighty imaginative compass and its roller-coastershifts of tone." - The Independent

"An extraordinary mixture of Faustian romance, anti-Stalinist satire and religious enquiry." - The Guardian
