Doctor Zhivago. Eternal Stories

"Doctor Zhivago" brought Boris Pasternak the Nobel Prize in Literature, world fame — and became one of the main novels of the 20th century. It is a book about human dignity, love, and fidelity to oneself against the backdrop of the collapse of the old world.

Continuing the traditions of the great Russian novel, "Doctor Zhivago" first saw the light in 1957 abroad. Pasternak received the Nobel Prize but was branded a "traitor" in the USSR. This book is a poignant chronicle of the life of a "little man" at a turning point in history, when the ground slips from under one's feet, and only love, friendship, kindness, and compassion help withstand it. In the poetic and philosophical narrative — the tragic fate of a hero who was not broken by time, fear, or loneliness.
