"Not since Shakespeare has love been so fully, vividly, scrupulously and directly communicated" - Sunday Times.
Read this new version of the Nobel Prize-winning masterpiece by Boris Pasternak, "Doctor Zhivago", from the acclaimed translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, known for their translations of "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina". "Doctor Zhivago" was banned in the Soviet Union until 1988 and is the epic story of the life and loves of a poet-doctor during the Russian revolutionary turmoil. Following his family from Moscow to what he hopes will be a refuge in the Ural Mountains, Yuri Zhivago finds himself entangled in the battle between the Whites and Reds, while loving the tender and beautiful nurse Lara.
Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have restored the rhythms, tone, accuracy, and poetry of Pasternak's original, bringing this classic work of world literature to life for a new generation of readers.
