Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita : a graphic novel

Banned for 27 years and initially published in a heavily censored edition, The Master and Margarita is probably the most important Russian novel of the 20th century.

Written as a satire of Stalin's suffocating bureaucracy, the book has inspired Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, The Rolling Stones' song Sympathy for the Devil and the work of many other international artists, writers and musicians.

Latest in Metro Media's highly successful Eye Classics series, which previous volumes include Romeo and Juliet and Nevermore.
