Description In Pursuance Of Books Doctor Zhivago

This epic tale about the effects of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath on a bourgeois family was not published in the Soviet Union until 1987. One of the results of its publication in the West was Pasternak's complete rejection by Soviet authorities; when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958 he was compelled to decline it. The book quickly became an international best-seller.

Dr. Yury Zhivago, Pasternak's alter ego, is a poet, philosopher, and physician whose life is disrupted by the war and by his love for Lara, the wife of a revolutionary. His artistic nature makes him vulnerable to the brutality and harshness of the Bolsheviks. The poems he writes constitute some of the most beautiful writing featured in the novel.

Judgment Of Books Doctor Zhivago

Pasternak's novel resembles nothing so much as a piece of antique cut crystal. Drawn from its tattered felt sleeve and polished with a soft chamois cloth, this heavy treasure has been set ever-so-gingerly on a table in wait for the curiosity of the sun. When that indolent light falls, as it must, at just the right, unerring angle, this liquid twist of sculpted glass explodes in a riot of fragmented color. Here is pure perceptive chaos - brilliant, bold, sharp, insanely vibrant; nearly too much

I came to this book knowing the story a little bit: the 1965 movie adaptation is one of my mothers favorite films, and I remember being fascinated by the image of Yuri and Lara taking shelter in Varykino, in the abandoned house filled with snow and icicles (I always thought this is what the apocalypse will look like in Canada). I also knew the novel would be much more intricate and tough to follow than the movie had been, with that pesky habit Russians have of using nicknames and patronymics.

I sometimes stroke my copy of Doctor Zhivago gently. I doubt I will find time to reread it soon, but it is one of those books I like to think I will read again, some day, even though it is written into my heart already, and has stayed there firmly ever since it first entered it decades ago. Is it better than any other of the "masterpieces of world literature"? Probably not. But it is something deeply, deeply personal. Something that affects the human core of the reader beyond any compassion for

Before getting to indulge in this Russian epic, I had to decide what translation to go for. For me, this was a big deal, whether to choose the more reader friendly version, or, a newer translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky that sticks closer to Pasternak's original difficult text. I went for the latter simply because if this is how Pasternak wrote it, then I wanted to read it in the purest form. Even if it meant not sitting in the comfort zone for much of the time. Both Pevear

Tightly closing eyelids.Heights; and cloudy spheres.Rivers. Waters. Boulders.Centuries and years.[From "Fairy Tale" in Doctor Zhivago, poem quoted in full below]This sweeping romantic epic is set in Russia mostly during and after the 1917 (October) Revolution. The young physician/poet Yurii Zhivago works as an army doctor and is wounded during WWI. He meets Lara Antipova, who nurses him to health, and falls hopelessly in love. Lara will be his great love and mistress through the tumult and

I definitely went into this book with all the wrong expectations. I haven't seen the film, but what I've heard made me believe I'll be diving into a timeless romance with a whole lot of Russian history in the background.Yuri and Lara's story, however, is 25% of the book at most, and in fact Pasternak uses this novel to ponder history, communism, philosophy and to offer his views and opinions, and a healthy dose of social commentary. I will definitely re-read this book at some point with the

I watched the film years ago and loved it; the book is just as good.
