Мастер и Маргарита

The devil and his retinue visit Moscow and expose its writers and officials, while a novel about Pontius Pilate runs alongside and a woman risks everything for the author she loves. Bulgakov revised it until his death and it was published decades later. It is wild, funny and unfinished in places, and its faith in art outlasting censors is moving.
