"The Heart of a Dog" - ingeniously and boldly
Today I would like to express my admiration for Bulgakov's story called "The Dog's Heart". I admire his courage to write a similar story in the days of the building of the empire by the Bolsheviks. For any bad word against the new government, you can lose freedom and life. And among all this Mikhail Bulgakov created his own manuscript, which was called "political satire" and anti-Soviet opus. First, this manuscript was seen by few, and all told the writer that it cannot be published. But Bulgakov was bold and had his inner core. In 1926, when Mikhail Bulgakov's apartment was searched, the story was taken away, and all copies were destroyed, but "the manuscripts do not burn."
Only three hours to read the book completely. The characters are absolutely colorful and have their own unique character.
The ball is a stray dog, which, thanks to the experiment of Professor Preobrazhensky, turns into Polygraph Polygraphovich Sharikov. Bulgakov surprisingly thin and exactly in this image showed the proletariat. The proletariat, which previously was powerless and downtrodden, who was frightened of the anger of its master. The people of that time were ready for betrayal. Becoming a human dog, Sharik became selfish, petty. On the one hand, a homeless mongrel, dirty and downtrodden, and on the other hand a man who has made a career in the field of the destruction of stray animals. Excellent allegory.
Reading the "Dog Heart" the reader realizes that the Shirikovs are among us. The problem of that time exists until now. Sharikovs - it's an abscess on the body of society, which all the time interferes. In our time, few people have such courage to "open their eyes" to public problems. At that time, Bulgakov was not understood and appreciated. He was in big trouble.
Sharikov is the image of the working class of the lowest and the poorest. The working class is always prone to be dissatisfied, they work all the time and bark all the time. On some, they bark loudly, not some loudly.
Among the image of the working class, there is an average. This image is personified by Dr. Bormental. He has everything and nothing. Such as Bormental are honest and smart, they just work and live. They live in their closed world in particular, avoiding danger.
The image of the upper class or the bourgeoisie was embodied by Professor Preobrazhensky. He is the best surgeon, a famous scientist, he is rich and lives in luxury. It is far from the common people, or rather from the working class, they do not have common points of intersection. There were other side of the coin - that at that time clever people often left their country. There's a hint of it. People from the higher class were disliked and could be torn to pieces. All this is human greed.
There is one more character - Shvonder. A new layer of society that appeared in Soviet times is an official and an ardent Communist. Fulfills all the edicts of the party, loves pieces of paper and tries to pass on all under him.
This work has long been sorted out into quotes:
"You know, a person without documents is strictly forbidden to exist."
Man is none. He does not exist for the state until he has a passport and a party ticket. But does this determine a person? That's what you need to think about, that's what the author wanted to say.
"The dog's heart" must be read between the lines, so that you can feel the depth of the author's intention. After all, he did not just talk about the amazing experiment of turning a dog into a human. He uncovered the vices of society, some of which are relevant to this day.
Great work of the great author, which makes you think about life.
Who has read this great work, they will understand and agree with me. And those who have not read - read. There is also a wonderful and old film. I recommend watching it.
