Les oeufs fatidiques (Poche)

The story's sharp critique of authority and scientific hubris feels both timeless and very specific to its era. I'm curious what inspired Bulgakov's choice to blend satire with science fiction.

The rapid decline into chaos and greed makes me wonder whether Bulgakov was commenting on societal tendencies or just highlighting human nature in general.

The finale leaves a lot open to interpretation, and I kept pondering whether Bulgakov was suggesting hope, despair, or something else entirely about humanity's future.
