As the turbulent years following the Russian revolution of 1917
settle down into a new Soviet reality, the brilliant and eccentric
zoologist Persikov discovers an amazing ray that drastically
increases the size and reproductive rate of living organisms. At
the same time, a mysterious plague wipes out all the chickens in
the Soviet republics. The government expropriates Persikov's
untested invention in order to rebuild the poultry industry, but a
horrible mix-up quickly leads to a disaster that could threaten the
entire world. This H. G. Wells-inspired novel by the legendary
Mikhail Bulgakov is the only one of his larger works to have been
published in its entirety during the author's lifetime. A poignant
work of social science fiction and a brilliant satire on the Soviet
revolution, it can now be enjoyed by English-speaking audiences
through this accurate new translation. Includes annotations and
afterword.
