Written during Stalin's regime in the 1930s, but not published until 1967, The Master and Margarita is an intricate allegory of good and evil and one of the best examples of protest literature ever written. Author Mikhail Bulgakov takes listeners on a journey through the literary streets of Moscow as the lead character, Satan disguised as a black magician named Woland, torments the city's people. Woland finally finds the Master, the man he has been looking for, whose story about Pontius Pilate becomes intertwined with the original tale, creating a parallel narrative.

      Bulgakov's satire of the greed and corruption of Soviet authorities illustrates the redemptive nature of art and faith, and Julian Rhind-Tutt's superb interpretation does the classic full justice. With a dramatic flair and a deep, multilayered voice, he pulls off a host of fantastical characters including Professor Woland (Satan) and several of his associates, Pontius Pilate and Jesus Christ, witches and madmen and a variety of early 20th-century Moscow literary and theater types. Two minor caveats: a few characterizations are too nasal, and his cockney accents for low-class Russian characters are a bit disconcerting.
