Set in Kiev in 1918 on the eve of civil war, this short novel (first published in 1923) owes much of its power to the author's passion for the old city -- and his manifestly well developed sense of irony. The characters in the royalist Turbin family are wonderfully drawn, with the city an important element in their lives. Bulgakov's first novel.
