Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. Name of the preowner on the endpaper. Boris Leonidovich Pasternak was a Soviet and Russian poet, novelist, and literary translator. In his native Russian, Pasternak's first book of poems, My Sister, Life (1917), is one of the most influential collections ever published in the Russian language. Pasternak's translations of stage plays by Goethe, Schiller, Calderon and Shakespeare remain very popular with Russian audiences. Outside Russia, Pasternak is best known as the author of Doctor Zhivago (1957), a novel which takes place between the Russian Revolution of 1905 and the First World War. Due to the novel's independent-minded stance on the socialist state, Doctor Zhivago was rejected for publication in the USSR. At the instigation of Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, Doctor Zhivago was smuggled to Milan and published in 1957. Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958, an event which both humiliated and enraged the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which forced him to decline the prize, though his descendants were later to accept it in his name in 1988.

Doctor Zhivago

From the acclaimed translators of "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina", a stunning new translation of Boris Pasternak's Nobel Prize-winning masterpiece, the first since the 1958 original. Banned in the Soviet Union until 1988, "Doctor Zhivago" is the epic story of the life and loves of a poet-physician during the turmoil of the Russian Revolution. Taking his family from Moscow to what he hopes will be shelter in the Ural Mountains, Yuri Zhivago finds himself instead embroiled in the battle between the Whites and the Reds, and in love with the tender and beautiful nurse Lara. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have restored the rhythms, tone, precision, and poetry of Pasternak's original, bringing this classic of world literature gloriously to life for a new generation of readers.

A collection of correspondence between Rainer Maria Rilke, Boris Pasternak and Marina Tsvetayeva. Published for the first time in English, these 49 letters examine their thought and work, the nature of inspiration and the creative process, and how poets influence each other. In 1925, Leonid Pasternak wrote a letter to Rilke congratualting him on his 50th birthday and renewing a friendship that had been dormant for 20 years. In his letter Pasternak mentioned that his son Boris, who had already gained literary fame in Russia, was a great admirer of Rilke. Even before he had published his own verse, Boris Pasternak had begun to translate Rilke's poems into Russian and to read some of his poems. Pasternak and Tsvetayeva shared a love of German culture and literature, and of Rilke in particular, with his German Romaniticism and grasp of Russian symbolism. In a letter to Rilke, Boris Pasternak recommended the work of his friend Marina Tsvetayeva, suggesting that Rilke might want to initiate his own correspondence with her. Thus began the friendship between the two young Russian writers with their German idol, communicating only by letter. Boris Pasternak is the author of "Dr Zhivago". This book was first published by Jonathan Cape.
