Frankfurt, Posev, [1969].
the first uncensored edition
A great bibliographical rarity, especially so in the dust jacket of one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century. This is the first uncensored edition of Bulgakov's masterpiece, Master and Margarita, published by the CIA-backed publisher Posev in Frankfurt. It's much scarcer than both the YMCA and the Moskva journal editions. A more durable pocket sized version bound in maroon leatherette was also published by Posev in order to be smuggled in to the Soviet Union. This is a bright and fresh example of the wonderfully designed jacket featuring Behemoth the cat.First complete uncensored edition, 8vo (21 x 14.6 cm); previously censored text in italics; publisher's red cloth gilt and pictorial dust jacket designed by Radim Malat, very slight wear to jacket with minor loss to bottom of spine, cloth a little faded to head and tail of spine, a few spots to spine of jacket, else a near fine copy, 498pp.
