Set in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev during the chaotic winter of
1918-19, The White Guard, Bulgakov's first full-length novel, tells
the story of a Russian-speaking family trapped in circumstances
that threaten to destroy them. As in Tolstoy's War and Peace, the
narrative centres on the stark contrast between the cosy
domesticity of family life on the one hand, and wide-ranging and
destructive historical events on the other. The result is a
disturbing, often shocking story, illuminated, however, by shafts
of light that testify to people's resilience, humanity and ability
to love in even the most adverse circumstances.
