The Master and Margarita
Bulgakov’s masterpiece weaves a darkly comic tale of the Devil’s visit to Soviet Moscow, intertwining with a poignant love story and a reimagining of Pontius Pilate. I was captivated by the blend of satire, fantasy, and philosophical depth. The way Bulgakov skewers bureaucracy and human foibles is wickedly funny, yet there’s a haunting beauty to Margarita’s devotion. It’s one of those rare books that lingers in your mind long after you’ve turned the final page.
