The Fatal Eggs is Mikhail Bulgakov’s savage, darkly comic tale of progress gone wrong. Blending satire with science fiction, it captures the dangers of unchecked power – and the absurdity of believing that catastrophe can be neatly managed.BRIEF ENCOUNTERS: classic novellas and captivating stories, to be read in a single sitting or savoured over days
