Description
In this sharp and darkly humorous satire, a renowned surgeon undertakes a radical experiment, transplanting human organs into a stray dog. The procedure is astonishingly successful, transforming the canine into a crude, yet increasingly human-like, creature. As the newly formed 'Sharikov' navigates the complexities of Soviet society, his creator grapples with the unintended consequences of playing God and the unsettling reflection of humanity he has wrought. Bulgakov masterfully blends science fiction elements with biting social commentary, questioning the very nature of civilization and the Soviet experiment itself.
