"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
By turns acidly satiric, fantastic, and ironically philosophical, this work constantly surprises and entertains, as the action switches back and forth between the Moscow of the 1930s and first-century Jerusalem. In a brilliant tour de force, Bulgakov provides a startlingly different version of Pontius Pilate's encounter with one Yeshua, a naive believer in the goodness of man. The interplay of these two narratives is part of the ingenious pleasure of this work which defies all genre classifications and expectations.
The commentary and afterword provide new insight into the mysterious subtexts of the novel, and here, for the first time, The Master and Margarita is revealed in all its complexity.
Diana Burgin is Professor of Russian at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, and Chairperson of the Modern Language Department. Her book, Sophia Parnok: The Life and Work of Russia's Sappho was published in 1996.
