One of the results of its publication in the West was Pasternak's complete rejection by Soviet authorities; when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958 he was compelled to decline it. The book quickly became an international best-seller. Dr. Yury Zhivago, Pasternak's alter ego, is a poet, philosopher, and physician whose life is disrupted by the war and by his love for Lara, the wife of a revolutionary. His artistic nature makes him vulnerable to the brutality and harshness of the Bolsheviks. The poems he writes constitute some of the most beautiful writing featured in the novel. 0aSoviet UnionxHistoryyRevolution, 1917-1921xFiction.9674791 7aHistorical fiction.2gsafd9674578 7aPolitical fiction.2lcsh9674675 7aEpic fiction.2gsafd9674579 7aWar fiction.2lcsh9675228  c17796d17796  001040708FICaWPRObWPROcMezd2024-07-05edonationl0oFIC PAS DoctorpFIC0057r2024-05-20 00:00:00yMONO
