Banga

The Master and Margarita website started 17 years ago and we continue to find new information. Today we added a page on Banga, the faithful dog of Pontius Pilate.

In the latest version of The Master and Margarita, Bulgakov does not give any further description of Banga's breed, but from earlier versions of the novel we can conclude that it is a so-called Great Dane, «a gigantic sharp-eared dog with a grey pelt and a gold-studded collar».

Banga also inspired the rock band Pearl Jam and the rock legend Patti Smith to record great songs.
