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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mikhail Bulgakov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57391227437381,"sku":"9781529012118","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/3721\/6069\/files\/9781529012118.jpg?v=1773517870","url":"https:\/\/stripyduckbookshopcafe.co.uk\/products\/9781529012118","provider":"The Stripy Duck Bookshop Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
