About this listen

The Devil comes to Moscow, but he isn't all bad; Pontius Pilate sentences a charismatic leader to his death, but yearns for redemption; and a writer tries to destroy his greatest tale, but discovers that manuscripts don't burn. Multi-layered and entrancing, blending sharp satire with glorious fantasy, The Master and Margarita is ceaselessly inventive and profoundly moving. In its imaginative freedom and raising of eternal human concerns, it is one of the world's great novels.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

it's interesting, but a bit odd. I wouldn't say it was my favourite book but it's entertaining.

Interesting story

Didn't love the Pontius Pilate storyline, but everything else was brilliant. The idea of the world of the Soviet Union meeting with black magic is wonderfully realized, and highly entertaining.

This book has great reviews so I gave it a go. Made it all the way to the end, helped along by the enthusiastic narrator, but I've no idea what I've just listened to ha. I did find myself zoning out a bit as I was a little lost between the stories.

Wow, what the heck was that...

Listened to this twice to get all of the nuances. A fabulous (literally) read. But you really need to concentrate.

Multiple intertwining stories

The story is insane. I think I'll be spending a lot of time trying to make sense what it all means.


Narrator is the best I've ever heard.

Highly recommended!

While listening to most of this book I really didn't know what it was about, however it is entertaining and performed well.

This has got to be one of best books ever written! Certainly of what I've read anyway! I've twice read the book, seen the movie & now listened to the story read to me with such excellent characterisation. Loved it immensely!
Interesting how history repeats itself ... Thank you.

Excellent! ❤️

Absolutely wonderful interpretation of this timeless story. Julian is a genius with the ability to compose for the listener a most vivid
picturesque and rich sound of Bulgakovs world,…
