A superb comic masterpiece and fierce parable of the Russian Revolution by the author of The Master and Margarita.

With a new introduction by Andrey Kurov

A rich, successful Moscow professor befriends a stray dog and attempts a scientific first by transplanting into the testicles and pituitary gland of a recently deceased man. A distinctly worryingly human animal is now on the loose, and the professor's hitherto respectable life becomes a nightmare beyond endurance. An absurd and superbly comic story, this classic novel can also be read as a fierce parable of the Russian Revolution.

About the Author

Mikhail Bulgakov (1891- 1940) was born and educated in Kiev where he graduated as a doctor in 1916. He rapidly abandoned medicine to write some of the greatest Russian literature of this century. After a lifetime at odds with the stultifying Soviet regime, he died impoverished and blind in 1940, shortly after completing his masterpiece, The Master & Margarita. None of his major fiction was published during his lifetime.
Industry Reviews
As high-spirited as it is pointed. Unlike so much satire, it has a splendid sense of fun * Irish Times *
A marvellous writer -- Michael Frayn
Bulgakov here assaults the dour utilitarian lives of Soviet citizens with a defiant, boisterous display of nonsense * The Times *
