Wonderful book.

Hello. I come from Russia and for me Master and Margarita is a part of the cultural code. I will add context - this book was banned in the Soviet Union, where it was created and which partly ridiculed (in scenes describing the Moscow life of those years). This book was reprinted and passed from hand to hand, there was such a concept of samizdat, when people typed on typewriters and passed texts to each other, because these books were not officially published. This, of course, gave them a special cult. My parents read this book overnight because they had to pass it on the next day. But even without that context, the book is wonderful. I remember how, as a teenager, I read about the adventures of Margarita and her flying on a broom, there was a thunderstorm outside, it was summer, and I felt like a witch, like her, the hostess of Satan's ball. At that time, the inserts about Yeshua seemed boring to me, and only years later, when I reread the book, I was able to understand how deep and philosophical the dialogues are and how deep their meaning is.

Read it way back when i was in school. I realy found it to be a chore to get through Pontius Pilatus parts and memory of that struggle always puts me off re reading it.
