Den episka klassikern om Ryssland i en omvälvande tid

Doktor Zjivago är en storartad episk roman om Ryssland under en omvälvande och våldsam tid, från kejsardöme till Sovjetdiktatur - och en av de mest anslående kärlekshistorier som har berättats. Ryssland härjas mellan 1902 och 1929 av två revolutioner, ett världskrig och ett inbördeskrig. Medan tusentals människoliv omintetgörs och landet trasas sönder slits läkaren och poeten Jurij Zjivago mellan kärleken till fru och barn och den till den gåtfulla Lara. Han lämnar Moskva och flyttar till Uralbergen för att söka trygghet för sin familj men dras i stället in i kriget mellan de röda och de vita. I en tid av folkmord och massrörelser tvingas han kämpa för att behålla sin mänsklighet och förbli en individ. Den sovjetiska censuren tillät inte att Doktor Zjivago publicerades, men manuskriptet smugglades ut ur landet och gavs ut i italiensk översättning 1957, vilket blev inledningen till ett internationellt segertåg som kröntes med att Boris Pasternak tilldelades Nobelpriset 1958. Här presenteras romanen i Sven Vallmarks översättning och med ett förord av författaren Maxim Grigoriev.

BORIS PASTERNAK föddes år 1880 i Moskva i en judisk familj. Han studerade musik och filosofi och försörjde sig som översättare av bland annat William Shakespeare och Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Redan före succén med Doktor Zjivago var han en hyllad och populär poet. Sovjetiska myndigheter tvingade honom dock att tacka nej till Nobelpriset 1958. Först 1988 gavs romanen ut i Pasternaks hemland. Han avled år 1960.

The dramatic political struggle of Boris Pasternak and the continued success of his novel. Dr. Zhivago, have often taken center stage in discussions of this writer. Olga Raevsky Hughes chooses instead to focus on the aesthetics underlying Pasternak''s snuggles and successes to explore the ways in which his views of art and the artist were applied in his writings. Professor Hughes examines those aspects of Pasternak''s views on art that he himself considered crucial: the beginnings of poetry in his life, the relation of his art to life, his relationship to his time, and his responsibility to lite and to society.Pasternak''s views on art are analyzed as he himself saw them in his autobiographies, critical essays, and letters; and also as they were reflected in his work.Pasternak is allowed to speak for himself: accordingly, all of his published works are used, including letters, little-known works, and available variants of his early poems.Originally published in 1975.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
