The Fatal Eggs: A Story - Brossura

'No aficionado of the genre could fail to be enchanted by this so perfect example' --Doris Lessing

'At once a satire of Bolshevist scheming and a story of technological apocalypse... The Fatal Eggs can be appreciated for its subtle insights about the dangers of technology and ideology run amok. Yet it is also an exciting adventure that will please fans of Jules Verne or H.G. Wells.' --Event Magazine

'The Soviet Union is gone now, unlikely to return in the foreseeable future. The literature of its early years, however, is now enjoying a modest but definite revival in English translation...Soviet writers like Bulgakov reveal the social conflicts of their era and deserve to be heard today by anyone eager to learn about the hopes and fears created by an event then unprecedented in the world: the first socialist revolution.' --Socialist Action

Russian novelist and dramatist Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940) is one of the foremost satirists of the twentieth century and most famous for The Master and Margarita. Winner of the David Cohen British Literature Prize in 2001, foreword writer Doris Lessing is one of the most eminent figures in world literature.
