Italian artist Iker Spozio is one of those readers for whom The Master and Margarita became a favorite book. Here are his fifteen illustrations for the first fifteen chapters—one print per chapter. We’ll have to wait for the rest: the artist has paused the project for lack of time but hopes to return to it. All the images are hand‑pulled woodcuts, made entirely without digital tools—an almost exotic approach nowadays.
