Description:
Doctor Zhivago is Boris Pasternak’s monumental novel of love, conscience, and survival during the Russian Revolution and Civil War. Through the life of physician-poet Yuri Zhivago, Pasternak portrays the profound ways political upheaval reshapes personal destiny. Zhivago’s struggle to remain true to his artistic and moral vision—while torn between his devoted wife, Tonya, and his passionate muse, Lara—forms the emotional core of the narrative.
First published in the United States by Pantheon Books in 1958, this edition played a key role in bringing Pasternak’s banned masterpiece to Western readers. Complete with its original dust jacket, this copy embodies the historical and literary significance of one of the 20th century’s most important novels.
