This book is hailed as one of the greatest literary works of Russian literature in the 20th century. It uses the devil's visit to Moscow as a clue to integrate magic, history and reality into three time-spaces. They are independent of each other in narrative and logically causal. Incomparably wild magic, true and false history, true love and ordinary reality are intertwined and stacked to form an extremely exquisite world. The author uses a playful writing style to outline the absurdity of the world, and reveals the complex relationship between good and evil, love and hate, truth and lies in the symbiotic opposition between good and evil, love and hate, truth and lies. The work breaks through the shackles of time and space and has eternal artistic charm, becoming another peak in the history of Russian literature.

"The Master and Margarita" is a rare Russian novel with magical and grotesque colors. It was published twenty-five years after the author's death. The ingenious conception, bizarre plot, profound philosophy and perfect art form have attracted generations of readers. It is known in the West and Russia as "the peak of satire literature, fantasy literature and rigorous realism literature". Two narrative levels unfold alternately in "The Master and Marguerite". One is the level where reality and fantasy blend; the other is the level where history and legend blend. The novel describes the trial and execution of Joshua by Pilate, the Jewish governor of the Roman Empire.

"Reality is always more magical than imagination." The classic satirical works "The Ominous Egg" and "The Dog's Heart" are Bulgakov's early classic satirical works. "The Ominous Egg" describes a biology professor who discovers a red light that can promote animal growth, but is forced to use it in chicken farming. Due to a staff error, eggs of tropical creatures used for experiments were given to chicken farms. As a result, a large number of monsters hatched and swept across the Soviet Union. Even the army was helpless. In the end, an unexpectedly strong cold wave wiped out these monsters. "Heart of a Dog" tells the story of a human brain transplanted into a dog's body to create a monster with a human brain and a dog's heart. This monster embodies the shamelessness and despicability of human beings to the extreme. Finally, the doctor turned the monster back into a dog, ending the absurd farce.

"The Master and Margaret" is the representative work of Russian writer Bulgakov. Satan pretended to be a foreign professor, Woland, and visited Moscow in the 1930s. He met Berlioz, the chairman of the Moscow Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the young poet Ivan. They did not believe in God or the devil. Woland refuted each one and predicted Berlioz's death that day. Ivan suspected that Woland was a foreign spy and pursued him, but was imprisoned in a mental hospital and met the master. The master wrote a novel about Pilate's trial of Jesus. He was not allowed to live in the world and was imprisoned in a mental hospital. Margaret met Satan's followers, obtained rejuvenating oil, and after many strange experiences, finally rescued the master.
