Features: This book is by Bulgakov, a literary master of the 20th century Russia who combined the talents of a satirical writer, fantasy-themed writer, and realist. In the "Twentieth Century Library" compiled in the United States to commemorate cultural figures of the 20th century, two Russian writers were selected, one of whom is Bulgakov. This book is a fantasy and absurd novel, and also the author's breakthrough work. The novel depicts the zoologist Persikov discovering "The Light of Life." However, due to a mix-up, a batch of enormous monster-like snakes, ostriches, and crocodiles were bred. These formidable monsters caused devastating destruction wherever they went, until they approached Moscow. "The Light of Life" turned into "The Light of Death." The zoologist and his assistant were beaten to death by panicked and angry people, and the scientific laboratory was completely destroyed. Beneath the fantasy and absurd events, the author does not hesitate to criticize and satirize the real society. The Soviet Union literary giant Gorky once praised the author for writing with great wit and skill!
