Doctor Zhivago (complete Series)

About This Novel

The masterpiece of Boris Pasternak, winner of the 1958 Nobel Prize for Literature. One of the most important great works of Russian-Soviet literature in the 20th century, written by Mayakovsky as "the poet among poets", after "War and Peace", no other work can summarize that period of such vastness and historical significance as "Doctor Zhivago". The thick two-volume "Doctor Zhivago" unfolds for readers a picture of an era as deep and vast as the Russian land: Zhivago, a young surgeon from a family of intellectuals, served in the Tsarist army during World War I. He saw the weakness and incompetence of the Tsarist and the corruption of the old army. His smart mind had a premonition of the maturation of revolutionary forces, and expected that the revolution would bring new life to the country and people, and supported the new regime with positive actions. However, the harsh reality of the civil war and the subsequent implementation of a series of policies by the new regime made this honest and upright old intellectual develop deep doubts and fears about violence and centralization, and he was under tremendous pressure in a forced and systematic double life. Another important thread in the novel is the tortuous love between Zhivago and Lara. What is particularly praised by the world is their short but shining life together and poetry creation in Varejino where they took refuge. Zhivago praised the simple and quiet Russian quality and yearned to live his own life quietly and do meaningful work; but this ideal of life, as well as his difficult and beautiful love with Lara, was ultimately not tolerated by the harsh reality.
