The White Guard
By Mikhail Bulgakov
'The tumultuous atmospher of the Ukranian revolution and civil war is brilliantly evoked' Daily Telegraph
Drawing closely on Bulgakov's personal experiences of the horrors of civil war as a young doctor, The White Guard takes place in Kiev, 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.
