BELIAEV, Alexander; STURGEON, Theodore (ed.); BOUIS, Antonina W. (trans.)
This 1925 science fiction and horror story features a mad scientist, toiling away in his own private hospital, illegally performing grotesque experimental head transplants and reanimations on bodies stolen from the morgue. Writing in the early days of the Soviet Union, Beliaev dealt with issues of identify and ethics the whole world ponders today.
