The Master and Margarita

by Mikhail Bulgakov
Translated by Hugh Aplin
One World Classics, 2008, pp. 456
As a mysterious gentleman and self-proclaimed magician arrives in Moscow, followed by a most bizarre retinue of servants - which includes a strangely dressed ex-choirmaster, a fanged hitman and a mischievous tomcat with the gift of the gab - the Russian literary world is shaken to its foundations.

Svetlana Proskurina

Dir. Best of Times
One of the most complex and mysterious Russian filmmakers working today. Svetlana's unique cinematic style and aesthetics have been highly acclaimed at various international film festivals - Lokarno, Montreal, Rotterdam, Venice, Cannes.
