<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Through surreal, often grotesque humour, Bulgakov gives an ingenious new twist to the "Frankenstein" parable, in a new translation of one of the most popular satires on the Russian Revolution and on Soviet society</b></p><p>Having been scalded by boiling water earlier that day, and with little chance to survive the severe winter night, a stray dog is left for dead on the streets. Lamenting his fate, he is ill-prepared for the chance arrival of a wealthy professor who befriends him and takes him home. However, it seems the professor's motives are not entirely altruistic--an expert in medical experimentation, he sees his new charge as the potential subject for a bizarre operation, and implants glands from a dead criminal in the dog. The resulting half-man, half-beast is, as to be expected, a monstrosity, yet one that fits in remarkably well with Soviet society.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mikhail Bulgakov</b> is best known for <i>The Master and Margarita</i>, widely hailed as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. <b>A. S. Byatt</b> is the acclaimed Booker-prize winning author of such works as <i>The Biographer's Tale</i>, <i>The Children's Book</i>, <i>Little Black Book of Stories</i>, and <i>Possession</i>.
