Pressestimmen
“The best way to understand Pasternak’s achievement in Doctor Zhivago is to see it in terms of this great Russian literary tradition, as a fairy tale, not so much of good and evil as of opposing forces and needs in human destiny and history that can never be reconciled . . . [Zhivago is] a figure who embodies the principle of life itself, the principle that contradicts every abstraction of revolutionary politics.”—from the Introduction by John Bayley

I watched the movie before I read the book and one thing for sure is the fact that the movie dwelled too much on the Lara and Yuri love story. However, the novel goes deeper, describing Russia as it was during the first half of the last century especially before the Second World War. Actually, the novel revolves around Yuri Andreivich Zhivago a doctor and poet whose life is a series of trials beginning with the funeral for his mother' until he too made the honorable exit to the world beyond. Dr Zhivago trials take him across the length and breadth of Russia through war as a soldier in the Red Army and as a man with a strong desire to lead a normal life with his wife and son, but who cannot avoid the love of a woman destiny always put on his way.
The remarkable thing about Dr ZHIVAGO is the fact that Pasternak successfully made it possible for the reader to look beyond the tragedies and sufferings in the story to the worthiness of life that comes with love and loving. Romance is born and even thrives in tragedies and misery showing that life can be beautiful at all times because the human soul that harbors hope can endure the worst atrocities of war and still stay beautiful.
Rich and poetic, DR ZHIVAGO is a breathtaking story. It has a few flaws, but the underlying strength of the story is overwhelming. Reminds me of THE UNION MOUJIK, WAR AND PEACE, and TARAS BULBA. I enjoyed DR ZHIVAGO and would recommend it to any book enthusiast, especially someone with an interest in Russian literature.

This book truly does take on multiple genres. It is an adventure story about a man's quest through the trials and tribulations of the Russian revolution. It is also a political novel in that it comments on those very events going on around that individual, Yuri Zhivago. It is also and primarily a romantic novel about the loves and lives of various individuals caught up in an extremely tumultuous time and waht effects those events and preceedings have on their very souls.
This novel is as well written as many classic Russian novels are, and is even more of an interesting read to someone who is familiar with those works. There are references constantly to Dostoevsky, Pushkin and the like. The novel builds on all of those authors and shows how those authors have truly influenced the lives of the characters.
Another interesting aspect of this novel is that Boris Pasternak seems to have truly taken on his alternate persona of Yuri Zhivago when writing this novel. Though written in third person you often get the idea that this novel is actually being written by Yuri about the world around him. This idea is further entrenched by the collection of poems at the rear supposedly written by the good doctor himself.
The style of this novel is that of an excellent piece of poetry. It does what so much great russian literature does, which is to combine philosophy and deep thinking about the world with a lovely poetic description. This novel can speak to you on many levels, it can make you think deep thoughts, or you can simply let it carry you away on a tide of emotions. The choice is up to you but either way do not pass this novel up.

This novel portraying the young Doctor Zhivago covers with beautiful accuracy and simplicity the many events of the Russian Revolution and its consequences in the eyes of a cast of different characters, whose intertwined lives are all affected by the political changes, some more than others. Although one cannot compare this piece of Russian literature to the works of Tolstoy or, more recently, the outstanding Rybakov, author of the Arbat trilogy, "Doctor Zhivago" is certainly an excellent read, rich with shattered dreams and lost loves.
