The literary value of The Master and Margarita cannot be overestimated. This work is a fascinating and timeless tale of the eternal struggle between good and evil. Bulgakov brilliantly tells the love story of the Master and Margarita, paying homage to Moscow in the 1930s and referring to the story of Pontius Pilate and Yeshua HaNocri.
Bulgakov perfectly weaved the love story of the writer, called the Master, and Margarita Nikolaevna with the gloomy and grotesque realities of Russia in the 1930s. The thread with the story of Pontius Pilate condemning the wandering philosopher Yeshua Ha-Nozri to death is at the same time a novel within a novel.
In the book we will find fast-paced action, symbolic content and a warm writing style, complemented by a colorful atmosphere. The Convention, containing elements of the absurd, the fantastic sphere of Woland's activities was necessary for Bulgakov to avoid censorship and at the same time highlight the absurd realities of Soviet Russia, in which he created.
It is impossible to pass by "The Master and Margarita" indifferently. This is a unique and outstanding work that surprises, entertains, moves, stimulates philosophical reflection and carries with it the literary artistry, imagination and fantasy of Bulgakov. This is not just a novel, it is a spectacular panorama of human existence and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
Work on this great work lasted almost 12 years. Bulgakov began writing The Master and Margarita in 1928 and finished it in 1940. The novel amazes with its scale, complexity and unusualness.
