"Heart of a Dog" is a legendary novella by Mikhail Bulgakov, in which science collides with human nature. The story of Professor Preobrazhensky and his protégé Sharik has long since become a classic and resonates as poignantly today as it did in the 1920s.

Mikhail Bulgakov's most famous novella, "Heart of a Dog," written in 1925 in just two months, was censored and only published in 1987, sparking widespread public outcry. The plot centers on Professor Preobrazhensky, who undertakes a daring experiment: he transforms a homeless dog, Sharik, into a human. However, instead of a scientific breakthrough, this experiment leads to chaos and unexpected consequences. This story explores the boundaries of science, morality, and social change, and remains relevant today.

The collection also includes the novella "Fatal Eggs"—a fantastical tale about the consequences of scientific progress, which, when it spirals out of control, turns into tragedy.
