The Master and Margarita
**musical mood preference: Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks**
Now that the semester is over, I can finally delve into the pile of books I have been collecting since September. First on my list is one that I started at the beginning of the semester but had to push aside once the work started piling up. It is Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita.
From what I gathered in the excerpt I had to read for my CMLIT141 class at PSU, the book is a anti-Stalinist piece of literature wrapped cleverly around a theme of good and evil involving the Devil amongst others. I read the excerpt that becomes a repeated paralelling story throughout the rest of the book, that of Pontius Pilate and Yeshua ha-Nostri.
The story of Jesus' last day is one well known to all of us who attended YEARS AND YEARS of Sunday school and catechismm and sat thru countless hours of mass.
I'll do a half-assed review when I finish the book.
1 day left.
