| Author Description | Mikhail Bulgakov was born in Kiev in 1891. In 1909 he entered medical school, where he began writing; his stories were based on his experiences there, and resulted in his Notes of a Young Doctor. In 1913 he married Tatyana Lappa, and she proved a considerable support when he was later to suffer from a morphine addiction. He worked as a doctor in Kiev in the years 1918 and 1919, where he witnessed first the German occupation, and then the invasion of the Red Army. Soon after this he gave up medicine in favour of pursuing a writing career; he had, by this time, written numerous short stories and a number of plays for local theatres. |

THE FATAL EGGS
₨ 910₨ 2,157
An inspired work of science fiction and a biting political allegory, Bulgakov’s The Fatal Eggs tells of a brilliant scientist whose experiments with life spiral terribly – and fatefully – out of control. Quite by chance, Professor Persikov discovers a new form of light ray whose effect, when directed at living cells, is to accelerate growth in primitive organisms. But when this ray is shone on the wrong batch of eggs, the Professor finds himself both the unwilling creator of giant hybrids, and the focus of a merciless press campaign. For it seems the propaganda machine has turned its gaze on him, distorting his nature in the very way his ‘innocent’ tampering created the monster snakes and crocodiles that now terrorise the neighbourhood.
