Book Reviews of Heart of a Dog
Book Review: subliminal messages
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of Bulgakov's greatest work. It presents the reader with a critical commentary on the state of the society (primarily its cultural development) in the Soviet Union. Perhaps the most important question that the author tries to answer in this book is as follows, "What does it take to be a human being?"Book Review: unsubtle rebuke?
Summary: 5 Stars
Censored by the state apparatus, there are a number of targets in this satire. As much a social satire in the vein of Metamorphosis or science Frankenstein; he concludes the base wants of food and beer are not so much different than the base wants of a respectable doctor- a large apartment. Power and control are are illustrated in several different ways.
