White Guard Mikhail Bulgakov 2008 The first complete and accurate English translation of Bulgakov's classic 1925 novel with a substantial introduction that places the work within its historical context. Set in Ukraine from late 1918, the novel concerns the fate of the Turbin family as the various armies of the Ukrainian War of Independence (the White Army, the Red Army, the Imperial German Army and Ukrainian nationalists) fight over the city of Kiev. Historical figures such as Pyotr Wrangel, Symon Petliura and Hetman Pavlo Skoropadsky appear as the Turbin family is caught up in the turbulent effects of the October Revolution. ... The novel contains many autobiographical elements. Bulgakov gave the younger Turbin brother some of the characteristics of his own younger brother. The description of the house of the Turbins is that of the house of the Bulgakov family in Kiev. --Wikipedia First Edition Thus First Printing See photos for a better idea of item's actual condition.
