The Master and Margarita
The novel The Master and Margarita is one of the most mysterious works of world literature, full of riddles, symbols and hints.
We find ourselves in a society that wants to create a better man and a better world, but instead creates a world full of fear, which can be used as a weapon against anything that defies the average. The perfect place for the arrival of the dark lord Woland and his entourage. Thus begins the battle for the soul of man, the Master's struggle for freedom of speech and a great love story. All this in a package of absurd events and devilishly unbound fun. Easter will link the Moscow gala ball at Satan's with the fate of Yeshua Ha-Nocri and his clandestine friend, the fifth procurator of Judea, Pontius Pilate. And the devil, surprisingly, becomes a force for good by doing evil.
