Novel Russia

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Martin Wainwright concludes his exploration of contemporary Russia through the themes and settings of three great Russian novels.
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. An extraordinary account of a visit to Moscow by the devil, interwoven with the life of a writer known simply as the Master, and his book - retelling of the Calvary story. The novel had an enormous impact when it was first published in the sixties, nearly 30 years after Bulgakov's death. It still enjoys cult status in Russia today. Producer Sue Waldram
