Doctor Zhivago. Pasternak B.L.

Boris Pasternak (1890 - 1960) - a well -known Russian prose writer and poet, Nobel laureate, whose share of both success and persecution of compatriots fell at the same time.

“Dr. Zhivago” is the history of the wanderings, the hardness and spiritual formation of the Russian doctor and poet Yuri Zhivago against the backdrop of the grandiose events of the first third of the 20th century - the First World War, the Revolution, Civil War, Military Communism and NEP. The apparent external equanimity of the hero hides an unbending commitment to the principles of sacrifice and the failure of violence.
