Born in Kyiv in 1891 the son of an Orthodox priest, Bulgakov later moved to Moscow where his modernist novels take on their mysterious life. The Master and Margarita, an exploration of good and evil in Stalinist Moscow, is a classic and unbelievably popular in Kyiv. Burgin and O'Connor's translation is impressive and deserves to be read by anyone interested in Ukraine.
