Top 100 Novels Book Club- August Pick: The Master and Margarita

1 down, 99 to go :) Thank you everyone for a great first meeting! The tribe has spoken and for August’s pick we will be reading The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Look forward to seeing you all there!

Synopsis: In Mikhail Bulgakov's imaginative extravaganza, Satan, disguised as a magician, descends upon Moscow in the 1930s with his riotous band, which includes a talking cat and an expert assassin. This visit has several aims, one of which concerns the fate of the Master, an author who has written a novel about Pontius Pilate and is now in a mental hospital. By turns satiric, fantastic and ironically philosophical, The Master and Margarita constantly surprises and entertains as the action switches back and forth between twentieth-century Moscow and first-century Jerusalem.
