About this listen

When a respected surgeon decides to transplant human body parts into a stray dog, he creates a monster - drunken, profligate, aggressive and selfish. It seems the worst aspects of the donor have been transplanted as well. As his previously well-regulated home descends into riotous chaos, the doctor realises he will have to try to reverse the operation; but the dog isn't so keen....

Wild, uproarious and deliriously comic, Bulgakov's short novel is at once a comment on the problems of 1920s Russia and a lasting satire on human nature.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

I love this book, having read it many times in its original language. This translation is simply fantastic and the narration is incredibly well done.

interesting, funny and very thought provoking story. Best audio performance I've listened too! will definitely have to go the spark notes and do some analysis of what was a very enjoyable book.

We have renamed our very active Kelpie, Madam Furbalov. She sometimes creates considerable mayhem in our household, sleeping on forbidden couches, and stealing chicken from the table. I have turned to this account for inspired guidance. A wonderfully performed indictment of science, bureaucracy and soviet life, which we need reminding of.
