Fyra romaner
Fyra mästerliga romaner, med ett nyskrivet förord av Maxim Grigoriev En hund förvandlas efter att ha fått hypofys och testiklar från en människa inopererade. En excentrisk forskare upptäcker ett sätt att snabba på reproduktionen av djur och människor. I Kiev 1918 strider sex arméer mot varandra samtidigt. Självupptagna, mediokra och svekfulla teatermänniskor intrigerar på den stora teatern i Moskva. Fyra romaner av den legendariska ryska författaren Michail Bulgakov samlas här i en volym: En hunds hjärta är en framtidsdiger genetisk spekulation som skrevs 1925 men blev utgiven först 1969; likt De ödesdigra äggen [1925] utvecklas den till en satir om vetenskap, makt och m...
Det vita gardet
»Storslaget och skrämmande var året 1918 efter Kristi födelse, andra året efter revolutionen.« Det vita gardet (1924) utspelas i Kiev år 1918, ett Kiev belägrat av bolsjevikerna. Det är romanen om revolutionens motståndare, om den borgerliga spillra som i det längsta söker undfly revolutionens segrande arméer. Bulgakov ställer frågan: Vad ska de vita kämpa för? Vad gäller deras kamp? Klart visar han att de befinner sig i en politiskt hopplös situation. Men samtidigt skildrar han deras värld, deras etik och livsstil med djupaste sympati. I deras värld finns värmen och ljuset. Michail Bulgakov (1891–1940) hör till de klassiska författarna i rysk 1900-talslitteratur. Hans romaner, Mästaren och Margarita, Svart snö, med flera, räknas till världslitteraturens mästerverk.
To Hear the Angels Sing a Chri
In this poem, as shepherds, angels, common folk, and kings converge on a stable to visit a very special newborn king, a crowd of happy animals celebrates with them and there is rejoicing all over Bethlehem. Full color.
The Strange Life of Nikola Tesla
The progressive development of man is vitally dependent on invention. It is the most important product of his creative brain. Its ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of mind over the material world, the harnessing of the forces of nature to human needs. This is the difficult task of the inventor who is often misunderstood and unrewarded. But he finds ample compensation in the pleasing exercises of his powers and in the knowledge of being one of that exceptionally privileged class without whom the race would have long ago perished in the bitter struggle against pitiless elements. Speaking for myself, I have already had more than my full measure of this exquisite enjoyment; so much, that ...
