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. Both a satirical romp and a daring analysis of the nature of good and evil, innocence and guilt, The Master and Margarita is the crowning achievement of one of the greatest Russian writers of the twentieth century.

Classic fiction: general and literary

A wild surrealistic romp … Brilliantly flamboyant and outrageous., Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita is a soaring, dazzling novel; an extraordinary fusion of wildly disparate elements. It is a concerto played simultaneously on the organ, the bagpipes and a pennywhistle, while someone sets off fireworks between the players’ feet., A lasting fable about the human need for truth and the mysterious power of love., It's rare that you read something so compelling and exciting. For me, The Master and Margarita is the most exciting work of imagination that I've ever read., One of the great writers of the twentieth century.

An amazing book and literary whirlwind

It took me a few attempts to get into the book, and then it took off like a rollercoaster. Satire, fantasy, and philosophy all wrapped into the same pages with language like I have never read before. It combines satire, fantasy, and philosophy within the same pages, featuring a unique style of language that I've never encountered before. Every sentence is meticulously crafted with hidden meanings, making it a pleasure to read not only for the story but also for its writing style. The book is occasionally chaotic, and you may need to reread a few chapters to fully grasp what is happening. After learning about the book's purpose—exposing the hypocrisy, corruption, and spiritual emptiness of Soviet life—I decided to pick up "Heart of a Dog." It was darkly comical and philosophical, an easier read but just as enjoyable.

Born in Kiev in 1891 to Russian parents, Mikhail Bulgakov trained as a doctor and volunteered for the Red Cross on the outbreak of the First World War. He later enlisted as a doctor for the anti-Bolshevik White Army, before eventually giving up medicine to concentrate on literature. The Master and Margarita is his most famous work, and has been hailed as one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

Life-changing

Extremely helpful - hundreds of topics covered.
2 Examples:
- Consider everything already broken.
Everything breaks, even rocks eventually become sand. So don't stress about it when somethings breaks! You knew it was going to happen!
- Beware of the mushroom effect of your thoughts. (She probably thinks this now. She's probably telling everybody. Now, this person will... etc)

Onheilspellende dinge op Rustenvrede wanneer die Pretpark na die dorp kom

Nog ’n Jaco Jacobs boek wat die toets van tyd deurstaan het en nou in ’n splinternuwe baadjie op die rakke is, is Pretpark. Teen alle verwagtinge in, kom ’n pretpark na die dorpie, Rustenvrede. “Al wat ooit op dié dorp aangaan, is die straatligte.” (p.5) Dit is die oorwoë mening van Anton, een van die drie hoofkarakters in die verhaal.
Die pretpark word bestuur deur Madame Zelda, en dit is spoedig duidelik dat daar ’n gevaarlike slang in die gras is. Wat volg is ’n baie spannende verhaal wat weer duidelik illustreer waarom Jaco Jacobs een van ons voorste skrywers is vir jong lesers. Die verbeeldingrykheid, en ja, grillerigheid, het geen perke nie. Ek wonder of kinders goed slaap nadat hulle ’n boek soos hierdie gelees het? Die nagmerries, hoofpyne, uitputting, selfs gebreekte naels en ‘n onverklaarde gebreekte arm – alles dinge wat manifesteer by kinders wat paaie kruis met die betrokke pretpark en spesifiek met Madame Zelda en haar swart kraai. Selfs volwassenes word gehipnotiseer en afgepers.
Pretpark, soos die ander titels in die reeks, naamlik Duister maan en Harlekyn, word uitgegee deur Human & Rousseau, ’n druknaam van Jonathan Ball uitgewers

Wees gereed om baie bang te word vir 'n bose nar!

As jy een van die mense is met ’n vrees vir narre, sal ek voorstel dat jy eerder verby hou. Jaco Jacobs het my behoorlik bang geskryf met Harlekyn, wat nou spog met ’n splinternuwe baadjie.
Werner het ’n slegte skrik gekry by die sirkus toe het ses jaar oud was. Sederdien is hy baie bang vir hansworse. Soveel so dat hy nagmerries kry daarvan. Wanneer sy irriterende suster ’n antieke nar in ’n houtdosie koop en huis toe bring, begin vreemde en vreesaanjaende dinge gebeur. Dit help ook nie dat ’n oom wat speelgoed herstel, vertel van ’n ene Roberto Collodi wat die gesogte pop gemaak het, terwyl hy eintlik ’n moordenaar was nie.
Dit het my laat dink aan skrywer, Carlo Collodi, wat vir Geppeto geskep het, wat op sy beurt vir Pinochio gemaak het. Gelukkig was dit ’n baie minder geweldadige storie.
Die storie was aanvanklik ’n vervolgverhaal in ’n dagblad en het in 2010 in boekvorm verskyn. Die 2025 weergawe is uitgegee deur Human & Rousseau, ’n druknaam van Jonathan Ball Uitgewers. Dit is geskik vir selfstandige lesers van ongeveer 9 tot 12 jaar, wat dapper genoeg is om ’n bose nar te trotseer.
