Discover Mikhail Bugakov's classic literary love letter to the city
of Kyiv. Drawing closely on Bulgakov's personal experiences of the
horrors of civil war as a young doctor, The White Guard takes place
in Kyiv, 1918, a time of turmoil and suffocating uncertainty as the
Bolsheviks, Socialists and Germans fight for control of the city.
It tells the story of the Turbins, a once-wealthy Russian family,
as they are forced to come to terms with revolution and a new
regime. Bulgakov's first novel, The White Guard is one of the
greatest works of twentieth century Russian literature. As epic a
chronicle of life and death in the Russian Empire as War and Peace.
'The tumultuous atmosphere of the Ukrainian revolution and civil
war is brilliantly evoked' Daily Telegraph
