Mikhail Bulgakov – The White Guard – First Edition 1971
£95.00
A first edition, first printing published by Collins Harvill in 1971. A near fine book without inscriptions in a very good lightly edge worn dust wrapper which is unclipped.
“The White Guard” is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov set during the Russian Civil War. It follows the Turbin family, who are members of the anti-Bolshevik White Army, as they navigate the chaos and violence of the conflict in Kiev. The story revolves around their personal struggles, loyalties, and the disintegration of their old way of life. Amidst the backdrop of war, Bulgakov explores themes of identity, duty, and the clash of ideologies. The Turbins, representing the fading aristocracy, are confronted by the rise of the Bolsheviks and the uncertainty of their future.
The novel blends historical events with Bulgakov’s signature dark humor and vivid characters. It captures the atmosphere of a city torn apart by war, where survival and principles collide.
