Abstract One strange and fantastic moonlit night, after the ball at Satan's, when Margarita is reunited with her lover by the power of magic charms, the omnipotent Woland asks the master to show him his novel about Pontius Pilate. The master is unable to do this, because he had burnt his novel in the stove. "That cannot be," Woland objects. "Manuscripts do not burn." And that instant the cat stood up on his hind legs with a thick package of manuscripts and offered to Woland an exact copy of the destroyed book.
