The White Guard by Mikhail Bulgakov
Set in Bulgakov s home city of Kiev immediately after the Revolution, The White Guard is the story of the Turbins, an ordinary bourgeois family striving to cope with chaos and political upheaval. After the Tsarist empire crumbles the Ukraine declares independence and different groups struggle for power.
Mikhail Bulgakov (1891 - 1940) was born and educated in Kiev where he graduated as a doctor in 1916. He rapidly abandoned medicine to write some of the greatest Russian literature of this century. After a lifetime at odds with the stultifying Soviet regime, he died impoverished and blind in 1940, shortly after completing his masterpiece, The Master and Margarita. None of his major fiction was published during his lifetime.
