This new translation of Boris Pasternak’s acclaimed Doctor Zhivago breathes new life into a modern classic. Translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, readers will gain new perspective on the original work, which was first published in Italy in 1957 amid a storm of controversy.
The book chronicles the life of a poet-physician during the turmoil of the Russian Revolution. Fleeing with his family into the Ural Mountains, Zhivago is soon embroiled in a battle between the Whites and the Reds. Somehow, amid all the turmoil, Zhivago falls madly in love with the tender, beautiful Lara. Resurrecting the style and tone of the original, this is destined to become the definitive English translation of Pasternak’s masterpiece.
