What is The Heart of a Dog about?

Through surreal, often grotesque humour, Mikhail Bulgakov gives an ingenious new twist to the Frankenstein parable, in a new translation of one of the most popular satires on the Russian Revolution and Soviet society"Bulgakov here assaults the dour utilitarian lives of Soviet citizens with a defiant, boisterous display of nonsense." - The TimesA rich, successful Moscow professor befriends a stray and attempts a scientific first by transplanting into it 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."As high-spirited as it is pointed. Unlike so much satire, it has a splendid sense of fun." - Irish Times To this day, the book remains one of Bulgakov’s most highly regarded works.
