About the book
Boris Pasternak's epic follows Yuri Zhivago, a Russian doctor and poet, during the tumultuous years of the Russian Revolution and Civil War. Torn between his professional duty, his family life, and a passionate, forbidden love, Zhivago witnesses the violent transformation of his country while trying to preserve his humanity and artistic creativity.
With incomparable richness of philosophical and lyrical reflection, the novel transcends historical narrative to explore timeless questions about love, sacrifice, freedom, and the meaning of life in times of chaos. A masterpiece that remains one of the most important of the twentieth century.
