Dog's Heart

«Dog's Heart» — the legendary novella by Mikhail Bulgakov, where science confronts human nature. The story of Professor Preobrazhensky and his ward Sharik has long become a classic and resonates today just as sharply as in the 1920s. The most... famous novella by Mikhail Bulgakov, «Dog's Heart», written in 1925 in just two months, was banned by censorship and only saw the light in 1987, causing a wide public reaction. At the center of the plot is Professor Preobrazhensky, who embarks on a bold experiment: he transforms a homeless dog, Sharik, into a human. However, instead of a scientific breakthrough, this experiment leads to chaos and unexpected consequences. It is a story about the boundaries of science, morality, and social changes, which remains relevant even today.
 
The collection also includes the novella «The Fatal Eggs» — a fantastic tale about the consequences of scientific progress that, when spiraled out of control, turns into a tragedy.
