It is the best resource I know on the subject&lt;p&gt;There is also an active Bulgakov facebook page [2] with things like fan art and informations about upcoming adaptations.&lt;p&gt;As a matter of disclosure, I created the facebook page in 2008, but it has been run for many years now by Jan Vanhellemont, the man who is also responsible for [1]. I consider him to be the foremost fan of Master and Margarita on the English language internet.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.masterandmargarita.eu&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.masterandmargarita.eu&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;

I read it when I was taking a class from a Dead Sea Scroll archaeologist about how the bible was written and modern interpretations of it.  So we read some of Gilgamesh, Old Testament, Dead Sea scrolls, Paradise Lost, and The Master and Margarita, among others (here&amp;#x27;s some version of the syllabus: &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;web-app.usc.edu&amp;#x2F;soc&amp;#x2F;syllabus&amp;#x2F;20111&amp;#x2F;60056.doc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;web-app.usc.edu&amp;#x2F;soc&amp;#x2F;syllabus&amp;#x2F;20111&amp;#x2F;60056.doc&lt;/a&gt;)</text><parent_chain><item><author>acomjean</author><text>I read the The Master and Margarita for a literature class at University.
