Doctor Zhivago
By Boris Pasternak
One of the 20th century's must-read novels- a love story set against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution, told in prose so lyrical it is on the brink of becoming poetry.
TRANSLATED BY MAX HAYWARD AND MANYA HARARI
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 shelter in the Ural Mountains, Yuri Zhivago finds himself embroiled in a battle between the Whites and the Reds, and in love with the beautiful nurse Lara.
