The Fatal Eggs: Vintage Classics
Autor Mikhail Bulgakov Traducere de Carl Profferen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iul 2026
After a plague wipes out all of Russia's chickens, eyes fall on zoologist Periskov and his strange discovery that promises to revive their population. But quickly, the state's attempt to control nature spirals rapidly out of control, and soon all of Moscow is under siege by creatures they hadn't bargained for. The Fatal Eggs is Mikhail Bulgakov's savage, darkly comic tale of progress gone wrong. Blending satire with science fiction, it captures the dangers of unchecked power - and the absurdity of believing that catastrophe can be neatly managed.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Only edition in print
Professor Persikov, an eccentric zoologist, stumbles upon a new light ray that accelerates growth and reproduction rates in living organisms. In the wake of a plague that has decimated the country's poultry stocks, Persikov's discovery is exploited as a means to correct the problem. As foreign agents, the state and the Soviet media all seize upon the red ray, matters get out of hand.
Set in 1928 but written four years earlier, during Stalin's rise to power, The Fatal Eggs is both an early piece of science fiction reminiscent of H.G. Wells and a biting, brilliant satire on the consequences of the abuse of power and knowledge.

Recenzii
The exuberance of it. has to enliven the reader, and make us laugh.
Bulgakov was not merely a brilliant observer of what was going on around him, but had an uncanny ability to pick out the particular manifestations of folly and discord which would set the tone of the era to follow.
Cockrell's self-effacing, fluent prose restores the elegant irony of the original, while rising to the challenge of Bulgakov's occasionally abstruse medical lexicon.
