Well may this book be a classic in Russian literature. Written during the days of Stalin, it was banned in the Soviet Union until the 1960s (due to its satire of Communist propaganda) and still managed to twist noses upon its serialization in 1967. Unfortunately, the plot lines were difficult to follow, especially the segues to the confrontation between Pontius Pilate and Jesus of Nazareth and the execution of the latter. Perhaps something was lost in translation, but this book just didn't jump at me.
