DESCRIPTION +

In this darkly comic and satirical novella, Mikhail Bulgakov presents a biting critique of Soviet society through a bizarre and grotesque transformation. The story follows a stray dog named Sharik, who is taken in by a renowned scientist, Professor Preobrazhensky. Through a daring experiment, the professor implants human organs into the dog, leading to an unexpected and chaotic evolution. Sharik transforms into a crude and unruly man, symbolizing the unintended consequences of radical social engineering. Filled with sharp wit and allegorical depth, The Heart of a Dog remains a powerful commentary on ideology, human nature, and the absurdity of forced progress.

  • Explores themes of science, ethics, and the unpredictability of human nature.
