 Doctor
Zhivago
(Doktor Zivago)
|
For an expressive narration, through his own eyes, the eternal helplessness of man - armed with his gifts and graces - against fate.
/Nwaike Kelechi, 22, Nigeria
This book became available in English in
1958 or 59, and was of universal significance in its characterizations and
the revelations about lives in the chaos and cruelties of wartime, and in
the developments of totalitarian rule afterward. It was also of great value
for us in the United States in understanding something of the lives of the
Russian people during their revolutionary period and the years that followed.
I believe the honesty, courage, and compassion of Boris Pasternak and his
great literary talent made this book one of enormous significance in world
literature, and it is one that stays in my memory very vividly to this day.
/Barbara Wood Donner, 70, United States
He played a role of historian
by talking about the time of the Russian revolution in 1917 by Lenin and
the great transformation in Russia this time by mixing politics, love,
literature and revolution.
Moatazmohsen, 28, Egypt
It is a magnificent story about
love and hate situated in Russia during the first half of the
twentieth century. The style is very original and attractive
and the novel keeps the reader's attention from the very
start to the very end.
