Mikhail Bulgakov – Heart of a Dog (Köpek Kalbi) – İlgi Kültür Sanat Yayınları Edition (2018)

Description:

This is the 2018 Turkish edition of Heart of a Dog (Köpek Kalbi), published by İlgi Kültür Sanat Yayınları. Written by Mikhail Bulgakov in 1925, the novella is one of the most celebrated satirical works of twentieth-century Russian literature.

The story follows Professor Preobrazhensky, a brilliant surgeon who performs an experimental operation on a stray dog named Sharik, transplanting human organs into the animal. The procedure transforms the dog into a human-like being, but the results are far from what the professor expected. As the creature develops increasingly disruptive and troubling behavior, the experiment becomes a sharp satire of social engineering, human nature, and the attempt to artificially reshape society.

Mikhail Bulgakov was one of Russia’s most influential twentieth-century writers, best known for his blend of fantasy, satire, and social criticism. Many of his works faced censorship during the Soviet era, yet they later gained worldwide recognition for their originality and literary brilliance. He is also widely known for his masterpiece, The Master and Margarita.

This İlgi Kültür Sanat Yayınları edition presents a Turkish translation of Bulgakov’s classic novella, making it accessible to modern readers. Combining dark humor, science fiction, and political satire, Heart of a Dog remains one of the author's most enduring works.
