Description
The Fatal Eggs: New Translation by Mikhail Bulgakov In 1928, a breakthrough discovery in zoology sets off a chain reaction of events that exposes the darker side of power and knowledge. A new light ray accelerates growth and reproduction rates in living organisms, leading to a crisis in the country's poultry stocks. As foreign agents and the state seize upon the red ray, matters spiral out of control. This early science fiction novel is a biting satire that critiques the consequences of the abuse of power and knowledge. Written four years before Stalin's rise to power, The Fatal Eggs is a thought-provoking exploration of the dangers of unchecked ambition and the exploitation of scientific discovery. With its unique blend of science fiction and satire, The Fatal Eggs is a compelling read for those interested in exploring the intersection of power, knowledge, and society.
