Books about The Master and Margarita
On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Mikhail Bulgakov's completion of The Master and Margarita in 1940, your webmaster decided to compile the Annotations per chapter of this website into one book. It is entitled The Master and Margarita. Annotations per chapter.
The second book, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About The Master & Margarita, contains detailed descriptions of all the characters from the novel and their prototypes. You will also find information about the places that Bulgakov described and the role they played in the life of the author. In the appendices of this book you will find the text of a passage that does not appear in the English translation of the novel, and the Dutch text of Bears in the Caviar, the hilarious eyewitness report which Charles Thayer wrote about the sensational Spring Festival which the American ambassador William Bullitt had organised in Moscow on April 23, 1935, and where Mikhail Bulgakov himself was present. It inspired him to describe the famous Ball of Satan.
Both books contain a set of 33 illustrations created by your webmaster. In the printed version these illustrations are shown in black and white, in the ePub and Mobi versions they are in colour.
