Beschreibung

Fine condition red cloth boards with a gilt facsimile front cover author signature and gold spine lettering contained within a black and gold block border. All pages are in fine unmarked condition and the spine is exceedingly tight and square (see photographs). Translated from the Russian by Max Hayward and Manya Harari. Includes List of "The Principal Characters in This Book"; Conclusion; Epilogue; and an additional rear section entitled "The Poems of Yurii Zhivago". "The only truly great novel to come out of post-revolutionary Russia significantly appears first in translation, without the approval of the Russian Communist Party cencorship. But this sensational aspect should not obscure the fact that Doctor Zhivago is above all a stupendously rich and moving book. Like War and Peace, it evokes a historically crucial period in terms of a large variety of characters whose destinies are interwoven - railwaymen, farmers, intellectuals, merchants, lawyers, professors, students, soldiers, the well-to-do and the destitute. Throughout the book, with its implicit indictment of man's inhumanity to man, run echoes of the Gospels. The London Times: "If one word could be used to describe this remarkable novel as a whole, it would be "religious.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005678
