"Never ask for anything! Never for anything, and especially from those who are stronger than you. They'll make the offer themselves, and give everything themselves". This is a quote from my favorite novel "The Master and Margarita" by famous Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov. Many critics consider it to be one of the best novels of the XX century.
Satan, who introduced in the novel as Woland, travels the world with the goals, one known to him, from time to time stopping in various towns. During the spring full moon journey leads him with his very strange retinue to Moscow of the 1930s - the time and place where no one believes in Satan, nor in God, deny the existence of Jesus Christ in the history.
This is a masterpiece, combining mysticism, fantasy, satire, philosophical parable. And of course, the main storyline - a beautiful story about love of talented writer and Margarita, who are ready for love at all, even resorting to the Devil.
I recently visited the apartment-museum of Mikhail Bulgakov (Moscow, Sodovaya street, 10, Apt. 50) where he lived, and which became the prototype of ''the bad little flat" (or The Evil Appartment) where Woland was staying. I got great pleasure from the excursion and decided to reread a favorite novel.
