'The exuberance of it - has to enliven the reader, and make us laugh.' Doris Lessing 'Bulgakov was not merely a brilliant observer of what was going on around him, but had an uncanny ability to pick out the particular manifestations of folly and discord which would set the tone of the era to follow.' The Guardian

Russian novelist and dramatist Mikhail Bulgakov (1891--1940) is one of the foremost satirists of the twentieth century and most famous for The Master and Margarita.
