"White Guard" - Bulgakov's first major work and the only novel that was published during the author's lifetime. For the first time - in the magazine "Russia" back in 1925, the novel was published in full in France in 1927-1929.
This is the story of the Civil War of 1918, the story of the collapse of the foundations and traditions, told by an eyewitness and participant in those events. But at the same time it is a very interesting, largely autobiographical family saga. Almost all the characters have prototypes - relatives, friends, acquaintances of the Bulgakov family. The Turbins are a lost generation. The old homeland is no more... Moral reference points have been shaken, but they have survived. And now, in the madness of the time that has come, the heroes are trying at any cost to preserve at least a small part of what they believed in, what they valued....
