Description
Explore the bizarre and satirical world crafted by Mikhail Bulgakov, where a daring medical experiment leads to astonishing consequences. What unfolds when a doctor transplants the pituitary gland and testicles of a man into a stray dog? The result—a dog that walks on two legs, drinks, smokes, steals, chases women, and fluently curses in Russian. This uproarious transformation paints a vivid caricature of Soviet society, making it an unforgettable tale of dark humour. Banned upon its release, this book remains a bold satire, biting and unapologetic.
