Description
Deciphering the cipher of Bulgakov’s first novel.
“The year was great and terrible by the Christian birth of 1918, and from the beginning of the revolution of the second…”—the opening lines of The White Guard fascinate no less than the legendary “In a white cloak with a bloody hem, shuffling in cavalry marching…” And the debut novel by Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov is as full of secrets and riddles as the brilliant Master and Margarita.
The book by the famous specialist in M.A. Bulgakov’s work, Doctor of Philology B. V. Sokolov, deciphers the cipher writing, subtexts, and secret codes of The White Guard, restoring the writer’s true biography, the history, and the hidden meanings of his first masterpiece— which became the best work of fiction about the tragedy of the Russian intelligentsia in the fire of the Civil War and is included in the school curriculum.
