Stock Code 107423
London, Collins and Harvill Press, 1967

Written in the early 1930s and banned for decades in the Soviet Union, Bulgakov's masterpiece was only available in clandestine Samizdat form. In 1966 a version was permitted to be printed in the literary magazine Moskva. The first attempt to publish this remarkable novel in English (Grove Press, 1967) used the bowdlerised Russian text as published in Moskva. Once this became apparent Harpers brought out the Glenny translation which has become the standard English language text.

Description

First UK edition, first impression of the Glenny translation; 8vo; publisher's green boards, title to spine gilt, with the pictorial dust jacket. An excellent copy in the minimally sunned dust jacket with just a trace of fading at the spine.
