Editorial Review

Product Description
This authoritative new biography of the Russian poet and prose writer Boris Pasternak is the first part of a two-volume set, covering the period 1890-1928. Drawing on archives and many eyewitness accounts, Barnes' study sheds light on currently unexplored aspects of Pasternak's character and family background, and his artistic, social and historical environment. He combines biographical investigation with detailed textual analysis of translated quotations in verse and prose to reveal the source of Pasternak's extraordinary writings. The book examines a wide range of topics that include his musical enthusiasm and relations with Scriabin, his philosophical studies, his activities in World War I and his response to the 1917 revolutions, and his stance as a liberal artistic intellectual in the 1920s. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Great book ...small print
This is a great read!Too bad, the print was so small I had to use a magnifier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4-0 out of 5 stars Pasternak v. Reader, Round II
My first reading of Dr. Zhivago was in high school. At 15, the book was a chore. Impenetrable and numerous Russian names (often for the same character) and endless description of the Russian landscape left me exhausted and unimpressed. After rereading and enjoying a few other high school assignments, I came across Dr. Zhivago on my bookshelf and wondered if I would find more appreciation for Mr. Pasternak's novel ten years later.

Yes, I did. And no, I didn't.

I found that this time around I had something more of a connection with the characters. I better understood the way that life can pull a person in strange directions and drop them into unexpected and unwanted situations. I understood that sometimes people are swept into and out of the place they want to be - and why they stay where things are bad and leave where things are good. I certainly had a far greater appreciation for Pasternak's obviously loving descriptions of his homeland.

That said, the things that drove my dislike of Dr. Zhivago the first time were still still there. The sprawling story and unending task of keeping all the characters straight were still a detraction. I don't know if the problem with character names springs from the fact that, being Russian names, they are unfamiliar to my mind or if Pasternak simply failed to rein in his cast of thousands. Unresolved plot lines rarely bother me but, when combined with extensive background on what ending up being minor characters, Dr. Zhivago felt a bit as if Pasternak let the narrative get away from him. Maybe that was the point. Sometimes life just gets away from you. After all, he's the one with a Nobel Prize. Who am I to criticize?

While I actually liked the novel this time, I feel as if I should have liked Dr. Zhivago more than I did. Maybe it's that I can't escape my first impression.

3-0 out of 5 stars The Movie really helps
Great book, but if you really want to understand the plot, watch one of the (2 video) movies!!!

2-0 out of 5 stars The Russian Revolution is not for me...
This book was by far the hardest book I've ever had to read. The story was too hard to follow, since I kept getting caught up in the words. It's most likely a good story but the character interplay and the sequence of eventS reminded me of a bad soap opera. The affair between the doctor and Lara was just sickening and I couldn't stick with it for long. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Redundant Alchemy as Translation: From Gold to Gold
"Translation," as Vladimir Nabokov said, "is a form of betrayal." As such, poetry in a foreign tongue is seldom worth reading in translation -- one usually finds the fire and beauty of the wordtrapped behind the translator's teeth. Fortunately, for the Englishreader, George L. Kline has the smile of a jack-o'-lantern. Not merelycontent to convey the meaning and ambiguities of Pasternak's poems, Klineclosely mimics the rhythms and sonorous melodies of the Nobel Prizelaureate's Dylan Thomas-esque lines. Compare the following stanzas from"Lessons in English." The first is from Merrill Sparks'competent translation; the second is a morsel from Kline's breathtakingtranslation:

When it came time to sing for Desdemona/ And she began --her song, restraining,/ The darkest demon saved for her dark day/ A psalmof stream-beds, weeping, flowing.

When it was Desdemona's hour to sing,/When her voice steadied and grew strong,/ Black day, a demon blacker far,sent up/ A psalm for her of wailing river-runs.

So fine are these seventranslations that one wallows for more of Kline's touch. To best know thebeauty of Pasternak, short of learning Russian, seek out this glorious (butall too brief) book.

Product Description

Boris Pasternak has generally been regarded as an artist who was indifferent to the literary and political storms of his time. Lazar Fleishman gives the great writer's life a new perspective. He shows that Pasternak's entire literary career should be regarded as a complex and passionate response to constant changes in Russian cultural and social life.

Drawing on a vast array of sources, Fleishman's chronicle encompasses both the familiar and the little-known aspects of the poet's life and work. He describes the formative role played by Pasternak's father, a prominent Russian painter, and the intellectual endeavors of the young man before his literary debut. He explores the intricate relations of Pasternak to the main movements of literary modernism, including symbolism and futurism.

Particularly informative are the chapters devoted to the postrevolutionary years. Fleishman untangles the poet's contacts with leading political figures (Stalin, Trotsky, Bukharin) and fellow writers (Gorky, Mayakovsky, Tsvetaeva, Akhmatova, Mandelshtam), and examines his changes in fortune during the purges and World War II. He shows how Pasternak was perceived by Western contemporaries and how significant their moral support was for him during the darkest years of Stalin's regime. He provides explanations for the Christian themes in Pasternak's later work, as well as the poet's peculiar view of Jewry. Finally, Fleishman recreates the vicissitudes of the publication of Doctor Zhivago and the ensuing Nobel Prize scandal in 1958. A fascinating description of the writer's career in broad context, this book will be welcomed by everyone interested in Pasternak and in twentieth-century literature.
