Looking through all translations (as I usually do), it seems most just fumble or blunder through lines or sections of dialogue, changing slight meanings or tone, or worse omitting information (be it important or not is relative).Two translations are competent enough, the Burgin/O'Connor one, and this one by Aplin.Neither of them perfect, both have their flaws in certain lines. Some lines the Burgin/O'Connor translation gets better, some in Aplin's, but both are certainly better than the other existing translations.When considering between the two, I considered Aplin's faults are, on average, way more trivial, and also fewer in quantity (though i didn't check all the content of all translations, just excerpts). Aplin has proper translations of certain lines and words which all other translations get wrong. Aplin also attempts to keep the structure and order of sentences as close to the Russian original as possible, while never becoming too difficult to read or understand in English. This helps keep the tone and manner of the original Russian text, something is even more important in a satirical and comic work such as Bulgakov's, compared to something like, for example, Dostoyevsky.Considering this, I made the decision that this is the supreme translation of this Russian classic, being respectable and worthy enough to function as a replacement to the original Russian text for English speakers. Happy reading! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book you will possibly ever read *by M***R on July 1, 2013* I was told about this book from a friend who challenged me to get through the first dozen or so chapters... I got through them alright but had no idea what was going on. I put the book down and came back to it a number of times, but would get through just a bit more each time. Eventually I got past 'that point' and read the rest of the book in a matter of days! I have reread this book numerous times and is my staple travel companion on long journeys... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Devil Walks Among Us *by R***A on October 9, 2012* I really liked this book the first time I read it, and I really liked it a lot this time as well. The book is really well written, and is a fun read.That assessment of the book does not change. It is really a good book to read. There are also a lot of allusions that have been made in the book, and I learned (and forgot) a lot, while researching the references in the book.During my first reading, I read a lot into the book, about the fundamental nature of Man, God and the Devil. The Devil does indeed walk amongst us, along paths unknown to us, and the Devil's ways are indeed mysterious.This time, I read more about human nature, and about how the Devil pokes fun of our stuffy pompous nature. I read more into the fragile fabric of human society than into the struggle between man and God.The Kindle Edition is well formatted, and easy to read.Either way, it's a fun read! ## Frequently Bought Together - Master and Margarita - The Master and Margarita --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/89876499-master-and-margarita](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/89876499-master-and-margarita) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
