The White Guard by Bulgakov, Mikhail Afanasevich is a work of fiction available to read on EtoBox.
What is The White Guard about?
Although less famous than Mikhail Bulgakov's comic hit, The Master and Margarita , The White Guard is still an engrossing book, though completely different in tone. It is set in Kiev during the Russian revolution and tells the story of the Turbin family and the war's effect on the middle-classes (not workers). The story was not seen as politically correct, and thereby contributed to Bulgakov's lifelong troubles with the Soviet authorities. It was, however, a well-loved book, and the novel was turned into a successful play at the time of its publication in 1967.
