SUMMARY:Russian Book Club: “The Heart of a Dog” by Mikhail Bulgakov
DESCRIPTION:Our long-awaited book club is for anyone who is interested in Russian literature but is daunted by the prospect of reading a complete work in the original! \nEach month we select a classic or contemporary Russian literary work to read in translation. While our discussions are held in English\, we incorporate excerpts and quotes in Russian into the sessions to provide an authentic experience. The club is hosted by an experienced teacher\, who will tailor the language element to the levels of the participants. So whether you’re an elementary or advanced learner of Russian\, our book club welcomes all levels of proficiency. \n“The Heart of a Dog” is a masterful blend of dark humour\, philosophical inquiry\, and social commentary. Bulgakov’s vivid and often grotesque imagery\, combined with his sharp wit\, makes this short novel a compelling and thought-provoking read. It remains a significant work in the realm of Russian literature\, offering profound insights into the nature of humanity and the ethical boundaries of scientific experimentation. \nThe Heart of a Dog is available from Vintage in Michael Glenny’s 1968 translation and from Penguin Classics in Andrew Bromfield’s 2007 version. Bromfield’s is the pacier of the two\, but Glenny has fun with the officialese. \nWe also recommend watching the movie “Собачье сердце” which you can watch it here Heart of a Dog (Собачье сердце) 1988 in English Online (sovietmoviesonline.com) \nWe look forward to reading\, discussing and sharing our passion for Russian literature with you!
