A Dog’s Heart
Bulgakov Mikhail
When a stray dog dying on the streets of
Moscow is taken in by a wealthy professor, he is subjected to medical
experiments in which he receives various transplants of human organs. As he
begins to transform into a rowdy, unkempt human by the name of Poligraf
Poligrafovich Sharikov, his actions distress the professor and those
surrounding him, although he finds himself accepted into the ranks of the
Soviet state.
A parodic reworking of the Frankenstein myth
and a vicious satire of the Communist revolution and the concept of the New
Soviet man, A Dog’s Heart was banned by the censors in 1925 and circulated only
in samizdat form. Nowadays this hugely entertaining tale has become very
popular in Russia, and has inspired many adaptations across the world.
