"The Heart of a Dog", a brilliant novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, written back in 1925, which almost cost the author his freedom and until 1987 was published only abroad and went hand in hand in samizdat, needs no introduction.Almost to the last letter, the story of the cute dog Sharik, turned into a typical 'red boor' thanks to Professor Preobrazhensky's experiment, is disassembled into quotations Polygraph Sharikov, among Russian-speaking readers for several generations has a truly cult status.Also included in the collection is 'The Life of Monsieur de Moliere' – a sad and brilliantly witty novelized biography of the great French playwright.
