«Cœur de chien» is the satirical novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (157 pages, in French).
A prestigious Moscow professor grafts the pituitary gland of a recently deceased man onto a stray dog. The animal transforms into a coarse, drinking human being, whose origin triggers wild situations. The satire runs through Soviet society and state bureaucracy: the new man ends up harassing his own creator and embodying a fierce critique of the totalitarian era.
Original work by the Russian writer, first published in 1925. This French edition from the Biblio collection includes a translation by Vladimir Volkoff.
For readers of Russian fiction, twentieth-century classics, and stories that combine the fantastic with political critique.
