Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891–1940) began writing the novel "Heart of a Dog" in 1925, shortly after registering his marriage to Lyubov Yevgenyevna Belozerskaya, who had recently returned to Russia. The novel contained numerous critical attacks on the situation that had developed in Soviet Russia after the revolution, so it was never published during Bulgakov's lifetime. K. M. Simonov, who had been the chairman of the Commission for the Literary Legacy of the writer for many years and had done a lot to publish his works, noted in 1967 about "Heart of a Dog": "This is a complex thing, difficult to publish even now." The novel was first published abroad. In 1968, "Heart of a Dog" was released in London. The text was published by Flegon Press in the 9th and 10th issues of the journal "Student. Journal of the Avant-Garde of Soviet Literature." In the same year, the novel was published in Frankfurt am Main. It was printed by the "Posev" publishing house in the 69th issue of the journal "Literature, Art, Science, and Socio-Political Thought "Grani"." Both of these publications appeared without the knowledge of the writer's widow. The published texts deviated significantly from the original. The first Soviet edition of "Heart of a Dog" was only released in 1987. The text, prepared for publication by literary critic M. O. Chudakova, appeared in the 6th issue of the journal "Znamya," but it also contained thousands of distortions. Finally, in 1989, the two-volume edition of Bulgakov's works, prepared by literary critic L. M. Yanovskaya, was published by the Kiev publishing house "Dnepr," in which the text of "Heart of a Dog" was printed according to the original - the last corrected typescript by the author. This unaltered Bulgakov text is also printed in this book.
The dynamic scenes of "Heart of a Dog" in this edition are adorned with illustrations by the talented contemporary artist Maxim Popovsky. Bulgakov's stories in this book are accompanied by drawings by Nikolai Ernestovich Radlov (1889–1942). The future artist was born in 1889 into the family of a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences and the director of the Public Library, Ernest Lvovich Radlov. Nikolai began drawing while still in school. While studying at the Faculty of History and Philology of St. Petersburg University, Radlov managed to attend classes at the Academy of Arts. He could have become an academic artist, but he chose the path of a caricaturist. Radlov had an amazing talent for depicting short stories in the form of a series of sequential scenes. In 1937, his collection "Stories in Pictures" was published, with funny illustrated stories for children. This book was a fantastic success, was translated into English, and received an award at the International Children's Book Competition in the USA.
