Description
The Fatal Eggs by Mikhail Bulgakov In this thought-provoking novel, a brilliant and eccentric zoologist discovers an extraordinary ray that drastically increases the size and reproductive rate of living organisms. However, a mysterious plague wipes out all the chickens in the Soviet republics, leading to a series of events that threaten the entire world. The government seizes control of the scientist's untested invention, but a mix-up quickly spirals out of control, putting everything at risk. This H.G. Wells-inspired work is a poignant commentary on the Soviet revolution and a brilliant satire that can now be enjoyed by English-speaking audiences through this accurate new translation. Includes annotations and afterword.
