About this product

Product Information

The heartbreaking story of the passionate true love affair that inspired Doctor Zhivago. 'Utterly compelling and meticulously researched, this revealing look at an epic love affair transforms our understanding of a literary masterpiece' Michael Sheldon Doctor Zhivago has sold in its millions yet the true love story that inspired it has never been fully explored. Pasternak would often say 'Lara exists, go and meet her', directing his visitors to the love of his life and literary muse, Olga Ivinskaya. They met in 1946 at the literary journal where she worked. Their relationship would last for the remainder of their lives. Olga paid an ermous price for loving 'her Boria'. She became a pawn in a highly political game and was imprisoned twice in Siberian labour camps because of her association with him and his controversial work. Her story is one of unimaginable courage, loyalty, suffering, tragedy, drama and loss. Drawing on both archival and family sources, Anna Pasternak's book reveals for the first time the critical role played by Olga in Boris's life and argues that without Olga it is likely that Doctor Zhivago would never have been completed or published. Anna Pasternak is a writer and member of the famous Pasternak family. She is the great-granddaughter of Leonid Pasternak, the impressionist painter and Nobel Prize winning velist Boris Pasternak was her great-uncle. She is the author of three previous books.

Somewhere My Love........
A very fine account by Boris Pasternak's niece of how the events of his own life, and particularly his long-term love affair with a much younger woman, provided the material for his towering masterpiece, Doctor Zhivago. Anna Pasternak gives a full account of his life, his tightrope-walk relationship with the Soviet authorities who could only get at him through his adulterous relationship, his contradictory personality & finally the drama of his battle to risk everything by getting Zhivago published. Boris Pasternak was no Yuri Zhivago....self-obsessed & narcissistic, yet also a great poet......he allowed his "Lara" to spend years in the gulags, & at times it's difficult not to despise him. Yet the account of his final months & death so soon after the pyrrhic victory of winning (then refusing) the Nobel Prize, cannot fail to move. The abiding impression left is of a great but flawed man who had the good fortune to be loved beyond comprehension by a wonderful woman. Profoundly impressive.Read full review
