Many editions of Master and Margarita populate the stacks of used book stores and libraries and contented fans. Almost every one of them has some riff on a black cat, a witch on broom stick or some soviet era art. The book is much more graceful and complex than that. The shifts in time and space that blend together as part of the same story. The parallel stories that compliment each other while contrasting sharply. The love story. The triumph of evil. The cowardice of conformity. The magic of perseverance and beauty of hope.

Now is a great time to start reading because the book begins about now. Now!
