Description:
This is the 2019 Turkish edition of The Fatal Eggs (Ölümcül Yumurtalar), published by Türkiye İş Bankası Yayınları. Written by Mikhail Bulgakov in 1924, the novella is a brilliant blend of science fiction, satire, and dark humor.
The story follows Professor Persikov, a zoologist who accidentally discovers a mysterious red ray capable of dramatically accelerating the growth and reproduction of living organisms. When government officials attempt to use the discovery to solve a national agricultural crisis, a disastrous mix-up leads to terrifying consequences. As giant reptiles and other dangerous creatures emerge, chaos spreads across the country. Through this imaginative premise, Bulgakov satirizes bureaucratic incompetence, blind faith in science, and the unintended consequences of human ambition.
Mikhail Bulgakov is one of the most important writers of twentieth-century Russian literature, renowned for his unique combination of fantasy, satire, and social criticism. Although many of his works faced censorship during his lifetime, they later achieved international acclaim. His most famous novel is The Master and Margarita, widely regarded as a masterpiece of modern literature.
This Türkiye İş Bankası Yayınları edition presents a Turkish translation of Bulgakov’s classic novella, making it accessible to contemporary readers. As an early example of Soviet science fiction and satire, The Fatal Eggs remains both entertaining and thought-provoking.
