The Master and Margarita

Russia's literary world is shaken to its foundations when a mysterious gentleman — a professor of black magic — arrives in Moscow, accompanied by a bizarre retinue of servants. It soon becomes clear that he is the Devil himself, come to wreak havoc among the cultural elite of a disbelieving capital. But the Devil's mission quickly becomes entangled with the fate of the Master — a man who has turned his back on his former life and taken refuge in a lunatic asylum — and his past lover, Margarita.
