Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov lived in a difficult time of change. Yet neither the regime nor censorship could stop him from creating beautiful, witty works that criticized the vices and delusions of early 20th-century Soviet society.
Professor Preobrazhensky is a brilliant doctor and scientist working in a country that has changed drastically before his very eyes. Through a complex experiment, he transforms a good old stray dog into a bad new man, whom the transformed Russian society welcomes with open arms. But the professor finds it unbearable to live under the same roof as this new man, so he makes a highly controversial decision…
The novella "Heart of a Dog" became a blend of science fiction and sharp satire on a society for which destroying the old is far more significant than creating the new. And if even the lowliest dog is ready to join in their devastation, they will issue it a passport and grant all the necessary permits.
