During the First World War heworked in a chemical factory, and after the Revolutionhe worked for the Soviet commissariat of education.His first volume of poetry was published in 1913; withthe publication of his third volume, My Sister, Life, in1922, he was recognised as a major new lyrical voice.However, Pasternak’s work was regarded as goingagainst the Communist Party line, and from 1933 to1943 he was unable to publish anything, and survived bytranslating great European writers. Pasternak’s lifeworkwas Dr Zhivago, which he submitted to a leading Moscowperiodical in 1956. It was rejected as being politicallyunsound. It was published in Italy in 1957 and Pasternakwas awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature a year later.However, this led to persecution in his own country, andhe was unable to accept the award. He died in 1960, agedseventy, suffering from cancer and heart trouble. It wasnot until 1987 that Dr Zhivago was finally published inRussia, and the recognition that was Pasternak’s due wasfinally granted him.SummaryDr Zhivago tells the story of five young people as theylive through the Russian Revolution, when the Russianmonarchy is overthrown and the world’s first Communiststate is established.
