The Master & Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov - 1967

London: Collins \ Harvill. London, Collins \ Harvill, 1967. First Edition. First Impression. Hardback. A good only copy of this classic of the fantastic. A Russian Faust in many ways, with a legacy more pronounced than the vast majority of comparable books having numerous film, radio, stage and other adaptations. The novel itself is often more closely tied to general literature than the fantastic, as is common with a lot of solid works of literature. Over the last few years though this has changed, as evidenced by its inclusion in a number of recent works around the genre. The book's not in Bleiler, nor Cawthorn or Pringle, though Clute includes a solid entry to the 1993 edition of the encyclopedia. [Clute, p147. Rennison & Andrews, p21] The jacket has a large chip to the top of the spine encroaching on the the T of 'The'. Red to spine faded. Soem soiling to rear panel. Owner's name to front endpaper. A little dusting / foxing to top of block. Cover art by Alex Jawdokimov [8046, Hyraxia Books]. . Very Good. Hardback. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1967.
