Praise
“Bulgakov’s love for Kiev burns in every chapter of The White Guard.” —The Guardian
“Infused with a passion for the old city and for its people that catches the reader up in its sweeping intensity.” —The New York Times Book Review
“A portrait of a population under siege . . . Bulgakov’s novel evokes the suffering of [the Russian Civil War] and the still greater horrors that lay ahead.” —The Wall Street Journal
“Bulgakov unfurls great fictional canvases conjuring up the atmosphere and beauty of his beloved Kiev like Pushkin . . . But beneath the effulgent lyricism there sounds a chuckle of cynicism . . . His irony is both broad and finely honed.” —Newsweek
“A writer of fantastic genius.” —The Sunday Times (London)
