The question is asked by Faust; the answer comes from the demon Mephistopheles.  \nBulgakov originally considered including the epigraph from Goethe's Faust in the original German. The line comes shortly after Mephistopheles appears in Faust's study, having followed him in as a black poodle.","cbCaivR6CIhojbDX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivR6CIhojbDX","pdf",1578179,419,"English","# Contents\n## Introduction\n## Note and Acknowledgements\n## Book I\n## Book II\n# Epilogue\n# Mikhail Afanasievich Bulgakov\n# Epigraph - Faust","[{\"question\":\"What does the book’s structure include besides the main text?\",\"answer\":\"The contents list an introduction, note and acknowledgements, two books (Book I and Book II) with numbered chapters, an epilogue, and a section titled “Mikhail Afanasievich Bulgakov” plus an epigraph.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the epigraph used in this edition, and where does it come from?\",\"answer\":\"The epigraph quotes lines from Goethe’s Faust, presenting Faust’s question and Mephistopheles’ reply.\"},{\"question\":\"Who are credited for the English translation and the illustrations in this edition?\",\"answer\":\"The English translation is credited to Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, while the illustrations are credited to Charlie Stone.
