From the acclaimed translators ofWar and PeaceandAnna Karenina, a stunning new translation of Boris Pasternakrs"s Nobel Prize-winning masterpiece, the first since the 1958 original. Banned in the Soviet Union until 1988,Doctor Zhivagois the epic story of the life and loves of a poet-physician during the turmoil of the Russian Revolution. Taking his family from Moscow to what he hopes will be shelter in the Ural Mountains, Yuri Zhivago finds himself instead embroiled in the battle between the Whites and the Reds, and in love with the tender and beautiful nurse Lara. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky ("The English-speaking world is indebted to these two magnificent translators."-The New York Review of Books)have restored the rhythms, tone, precision, and poetry of Pasternakrs"s original, bringing this classic of world literature gloriously to life for a new generation of readers.
