About This Item
New York: Grove Press, Inc., 1967. Hardcover. Very Good/Dust Jacket condition very good. Considered the author's masterpiece and one of 20th century Russia's finest novels, this is the book's first appearance in the United States. It is a novel of corruption & cowardice, part fantasy & fairy tale, an 'ironic parable on power.' Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov, 1891-1940, was a professor's son born in Kiev. He trained as a doctor but became a writer involved with a post-revolutionary Russian group known as the Fellow Travelers. He began this work in 1928, but it suffered Stalinist censorship in the 1930s and wasn't published until 1966. Bulgakov left a large body of work and achieved posthumous international fame. Translated from the Russian by Mirra Ginsburg, who also translated Isaac Bashevis Singer and Isaac Babel. Light spotting to endpapers, jacket has a few dings to spine ends and top edge. Clear wraps added.
Synopsis
The Master and Margarita is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, woven around the premise of a visit by the Devil to the fervently atheistic Soviet Union. Many critics consider the book to be one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, as well as one of the foremost Soviet satires, directed against a social order seen as suffocatingly bureaucratic.
