Acerca de esta escucha
When a respected surgeon decides to transplant human body parts into a stray dog, he creates a monster - drunken, profligate, aggressive and selfish. It seems the worst aspects of the donor have been transplanted as well. As his previously well-regulated home descends into riotous chaos, the doctor realises he will have to try to reverse the operation; but the dog isn't so keen....
Wild, uproarious and deliriously comic, Bulgakov's short novel is at once a comment on the problems of 1920s Russia and a lasting satire on human nature.

The Devil comes to Moscow, but he isn't all bad; Pontius Pilate sentences a charismatic leader to his death, but yearns for redemption; and a writer tries to destroy his greatest tale, but discovers that manuscripts don't burn. Multi-layered and entrancing, blending sharp satire with glorious fantasy, The Master and Margarita is ceaselessly inventive and profoundly moving. In its imaginative freedom and raising of eternal human concerns, it is one of the world's great novels.

Bulgakov’s first full-length novel is set in the harsh and chaotic winter of 1918-19, as power struggles start to play out with brutal consequences. Echoing Tolstoy’s approach in War and Peace, Bulgakov contrasts the concerns of domestic life with the wide-ranging and destructive historical events; but where Tolstoy’s structure is clear, Bulgakov interweaves narrative, details of military action, snatches of songs, dreams, dialogue and fragments of thought to capture this swirl of confusion on every level.

A well-to-do professor working in Moscow strikes up an unlikely friendship with a stray dog and attempts a scientific first by transplanting the testicles and pituitary gland of a recently deceased man into the dog. With a wild, but alarmingly human animal on the loose, the professor's previously respectable life becomes a nightmare beyond his imagination. A superb satirical novel, it is also a sharp and pointed criticism of Soviet society, especially the new rich that arose after the Bolshevik revolution.

The Master and Margarita is one of the most famous and best-selling Russian novels of the 20th century, despite its surreal environment of talking cats, Satan and mysterious happenings. Naxos AudioBooks presents this careful abridgement of a new translation in an imaginative reading by the charismatic Julian Rhind-Tutt. With War and Peace and Crime and Punishment among the Naxos AudioBooks best-sellers, this too promises to be a front title.

Thomas Mann's last great novel, first published in 1947 and now newly rendered into English by acclaimed translator John E. Woods, is a modern reworking of the Faust legend, in which Germany sells its soul to the Devil. Mann's protagonist, the composer Adrian Leverkühn, is the flower of German culture, a brilliant, isolated, overreaching figure, his radical new music a breakneck game played by art at the very edge of impossibility. In return for twenty-four years of unparalleled musical accomplishment, he bargains away his soul—and the ability to love his fellow man.

Fantastic reading of a very funny book

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I wasn't sure if I knew enough Russian history to really "get" the social satire, but I don't think the satire is necessarily unique to the early Soviet Union. It wasn't a huge time commitment, so I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did.Would you recommend Bulgakov: A Dog's Heart to your friends? Why or why not?
I would if I had a friend that really enjoyed satire (But I don't) or Russian Lit (But I don't).Did Roy McMillan do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Furball sounded like a talking dog, and the Professor was appropriately hoity-toity. Furballov was coarse and crude. Overall, McMillan did pretty well.Any additional comments?
I liked the way the perspective shifted from First Person, to Epistolary, to Third Person. Great device.Enjoyable

I wish it were longer...

In this much shorter book, the author seems to spend a bit more time poking the (new) Soviet system in the eye. That must have been very, very risky business as the author lived during the Stalin era. Fortunately for him (and maybe for Stalin and us as well), Stalin liked the author’s work or at least respected his skill enough to spare him the fate of millions of other Russians Stalin was not as fond of.
If you liked the Master and Margarita, you should enjoy A Dog’s Heart. This is especially likely given how well this book is narrated by Roy McMillan. If you are into irreverent stories, surreal stuff, and Russian-style writing, or think you might be, then I highly recommend this book.
That said, The Master and Margarita is probably one of the most interesting books I’ve read and if you were only going to read one, I’d suggest the longer, weirder book, The M&M.
Another entertaining / surreal book by M. Bulgakov

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes Excellent story and rendition of sameWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Bulgakov: A Dog's Heart?
The transformation of the dog Furball into a manAny additional comments?
German literature gave us Kafka's The Metamorphosis, English lit gave us Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Russian literature gave us this superb, but lesser known tale. The plot lines all have transformation in them, man turns into bug, man discovers and is overtaken by his evil side, grateful, nice dog turns into mean,ungrateful man. The deeper themes are noteworthy as well, respectfully family relations and isolation; good vs evil; and marked political themes.All these stories are short and deserve our attention. Longer novels of the genre include Frankenstein , man-vs nature and society isolating man themes; Dracula with its sexual subtext; and Island of Dr. Moreau with its political and religious themes.
Science fiction/fantasy/ marked political themes

I love dogs so that primarily why I purchased this. While it is about a dog, it is really an interesting listen for other aspects. Not something I'd recommend to everyone but definitely something I'm glad I listened to.
Good stuff!
