"The Heart of a Dog" arouses the interest of readers and the heated debates of critics. In the story, as in other works of Bulgakov, literary scholars try to find an encrypted meaning. Readers' reviews about the book "Dog Heart", as a rule, enthusiastic. She likes even those who do not understand her profound content. What attracts modern readers the story of a wonderful transformation?

Plot

The opinion about the book "The Heart of a Dog" as a fascinating fantasy work, as a rule, developed among the representatives of the younger generation. Bulgakov's prose has a rare feature: it is interesting even for those who do not strive to understand its philosophical overtones. If you discard the symbolism of images, satire on the vices of society and other artistic techniques, there will be only an exciting plot. But this is a lot to provoke interest even among young readers. But more often the reference to the book "The Heart of a Dog" by Bulgakov is laudatory, because the novel is distinguished by a unique system of images and a unique author's satire.

Preobrazhensky and Sharikov

As the reviews show, the success of the phantasmagoric story is explained by the presence of bright unforgettable characters. Professor Preobrazhensky is the embodiment of high culture and education. However, his theory of humanity as the only force capable of changing society turns out to be untenable. The revolution gives rise to a new type of man, incapable of creation. And this person is not interested in humanistic ideas.

Sharikov is not able to understand and hear Preobrazhensky. Polygraph Polygraphovich - a type of personality common in post-revolutionary years. He was yesterday's servant, who raised his head with the arrival of the new government, grew up in his own eyes and hated those to whom he had worshiped yesterday. Similar to Polygraph Polygraphovich occupy a position inconspicuous, but the most convenient for that at the right time to strike a blow in the back. "Sharikov" do not know how to fight openly. Fear and meanness are the main features of their nature.

Shvonder

This character is a typical proletarian. The author does not give a detailed description of Shvonder. It is known that the hero burns with hatred for class enemies, occupies an obscure post of chairman of the house committee, sets up Sharikov against Professor Preobrazhensky.

According to the philosophy of Shvonder, the most important thing in the world is a document. Without it, a person has no right to exist. From time to time Shvonder shows eloquence. But his speech is nothing more than verbiage. And if in their actions the chairman of the house committee is guided by the interests of the proletariat, then only in order to gain a foothold in this life. If Sharikov is a slave, Shvonder is one of the organizers of the crime, which in history is known as the "revolution".

Other characters

The narrative is partly written on behalf of Dr. Bormental. Assistant professor occupies the position of observer in the story. He does not express his opinion on the forthcoming operation, does not criticize and does not approve of Philip Philipovich's ideas.

Another narrator in Bulgakov's work is Sharik. The reasoning of the homeless dog contains extraordinary observation. His statements are categorical and unambiguous. Unlike Bormental, Sharik has clear judgments about what is happening.

The dog discovers simple, uncomplicated wisdom. In the first chapter, he clearly characterizes Preobrazhensky, noting that this is not at all a "buffoon", and not even a comrade, but a true "gentleman." It is noteworthy that before Sharyk acquired a human face, he did not like the proletarians. And after the transformation seeks to join their ranks. Apparently, the author of the story assumed that the dog in something could be wiser than a man ...

Violation of the laws of nature

Preobrazhensky successfully conducted the experiment. Transplanting the human pituitary gland to the dog, he witnessed an amazing metamorphosis, which even amazed his skeptical imagination. Reviews of the book "The Heart of a Dog" because so delighted that perhaps there is, in the literature of another example, where the negative consequences of scientific experiments were so convincingly shown. In addition, the result of the work of Preobrazhensky probably has a philosophical overtones. No wonder the hero of the story completes the whole story telling his assistant about the senselessness of the event. Why make a dog a man? After all, any woman can give birth to him.

Philosophical meaning

Man can not be fixed. Clim Chugunkin will never become an intelligent and sensitive person. Education, education and life experience are part of what is called a character. Such thoughts come to the reader's head. Positive feedback on the book "The Heart of a Dog" is left by fans of philosophical prose. The story of Bulgakov can be attributed to literature, which leads to reflection. This work does not imply an easy reading.

Satire

In the center of the narrative is the Moscow society of the twenties. Human vices Bulgakov and in his other creations depicted in a satirical light. But here the criticism of the society is present in everything: in the comical behavior of Shvonder, in the wise statements of Preobrazhensky, in the silly arguments of Sharikov.

Surprisingly, readers of the 21st century see familiar faces in a book created in the post-revolutionary years. Shvonders were, are and will be. The story of Bulgakov will not lose popularity. Enthusiastic reviews of the book "The Heart of a Dog" often contain comments that the society for the last ninety years has hardly changed. And the success of a literary work depends, first of all, on how close the problems are to ordinary readers.

Revolutionary transformations

Terror can not be achieved. So believes Philip Philipovich. The hero of the story of Mikhail Bulgakov does not want to put up with the statement "who was nothing, that will become everything." Over dinner, Professor assures Dr. Bormental that the order can be restored only if everyone takes care of their business.

As a result of the overthrow of the existing system, chaos reigns in the country. This is unlikely to be doubted by a person who has survived the "dashing nineties," and his review of the book "Dog Heart" will certainly be positive. And, as has already been said, the Shvonders did not outgrow. Let them today not clothed in a leather coat, but, as before, they are present among us.

Quotes

Separate statements of Bulgakov's heroes became famous. The professor recommended not reading newspapers before dinner. He assured us that nothing can be achieved by terror, no matter what color it is (white, red or even brown). Philip Philipovich gave a clear and witty definition of the word "ruin." In the mouth of Preobrazhensky, the author, who suffered a lot from the persecution of bureaucrats and writers, apparently put his own judgments.

"Polygraph Polygraphovich's" profound statements about registration and other everyday phenomena, the conversation of the members of the housing association with the professor about "sealing the apartment" - all this made the story "The Dog's Heart" one of the most popular literary works. The author of the book with an ambiguous storyline created characters whose statements were broken down into quotes.

Film

One of the most mysterious authors of the XX century is Mikhail Bulgakov. "Dog Heart" - a book, screened in 1988. This, perhaps, is his only work, on which he managed to shoot a really good film. Directors repeatedly proceeded to screen the "Master and Margarita". But either the result of their work left much to be desired, or shooting for some reason was not completed. The television film of Vladimir Bortko is a rare case when the screen version is not inferior to the original source. The film, released on the screens in the late eighties, inspired many to read the story of Mikhail Bulgakov.

Fashionable author

In all the post-Soviet space there is no person who would not have heard of Bulgakov. The book "Dog Heart" belongs to the pen of the most popular author of the nineties of last century. However, even today a person who thinks of himself as a creative and spiritual person, has a habit of carelessly citing the works of this writer.

Books by Mikhail Bulgakov are an integral part of Russian culture. Few modern readers are familiar with the work of Ivan Bunin or Leonid Andreev. Today's teenagers know the content of Dostoevsky's novels only briefly. But there is hardly anyone who did not read Bulgakov's most famous works. Creativity of this writer does not leave indifferent neither schoolboys, nor representatives of the senior generation. Therefore, "Dog Heart" is one of the most popular and read books, which is confirmed by numerous reviews.
