Doctor Zhivago

The background of the novel spans about 30 years (1903 to 1929), covering major historical events such as the end of Tsarist Russia, World War I, the October Revolution of 1917, the Russian Civil War, and the early construction of the Soviet Union. The protagonist Yuri Zhivago is a talented doctor and poet. He is kind-hearted and pursues freedom, but he is forced to struggle to survive in the great changes of the times. Conflict between individual and the times: Zhivago was originally an idealistic intellectual. He initially had hope for revolution, believing that revolution could change the decay of society. But as the revolution progressed, he witnessed violence, hunger, and ideological cruelty, and gradually became disillusioned with the revolution. He tried to maintain his independent thoughts and humanity, but under the totalitarian system, his personal voice was drowned and he eventually became a victim of the times. Classical quotes - "Art always serves beauty, and beauty is a form of mastering happiness." - "History is the effort to turn everything into words, to turn human life into a thought."

A pure person was imprisoned by the times he lived in. After experiencing World War I, the February and October Revolutions, the Red and White Civil War, and the New Economic Policy, he longed to escape from all these status quos, which drove him across the ice and snow of Siberia, and finally returned to Moscow... We open the door of words and reach Zhivago's heart, feeling his rich emotions, desire for love and life, and the remaining tender compassion in an era when "people are more ferocious than wolves". We only become human when we are able to love others and have the opportunity to love. This is a Confessions of Pasternak "I always feel that I owe a huge debt to my contemporaries. Writing this novel is an attempt to repay the debt. As I slowly write, the feeling of repaying the debt has always filled my heart..." A single life is like a star, Everyone lives in an era, The accumulation of times creates a historical picture The writing of Pa is like throwing stones into the calm water of history. Beyond individual life, there are ripples of "thinking about the current situation"

Stories are always just stories, but reality is far more realistic than stories

The descriptions of the cities, streets, alleys, fields, farmhouses, and villages and towns in Russia in spring, summer, autumn and winter are particularly delicate and vivid, as if I was standing there, watching the scenes of suffering suffered by Mother Russia. As for the conversational style of those who talk loudly and talk pretentiously, they can't express anything even if they talk a lot. They are so confused that it is really intolerable. At the same time, I fell in love with Zhivago.

This book takes Dr. Zhivago's experience as the main line, showing a picture of life in that turbulent era. Zhivago's experience made me deeply aware of the impermanence and suffering of life. This is not only a story about personal destiny, but also makes us think more deeply about history and war. The reflections in the book are still relevant today. Recommended to friends who like to think about life.

Suitable for making a movie

The cruelty of war, the cruelty of revolution, madness, anti-humanity

Rape is not a virtue!

I like Zhivago and I also admire Larissa. They are frank and have their own thoughts and opinions. They are good at discovering and thinking, and they always listen to the call of their hearts and do not follow the crowd. They live for the ideals and beliefs in their hearts, their love is born from the union of souls, and their union is a union of spirits. They are determined to follow their own path, even if it costs them.

This novel really gave me a lot of inspiration, like poetry, not bad.

It's very good. After listening to it, I don't know. The writing is very good and I feel it.
