An incredible story! This is the third time I've read it in my 6 decades & have watched the film dozens of times - it improves each time - Pasternak's writing is literally phenomenal, worthy of the Noble Prize for Literature it won him.

About the author
Boris Pasternak was born in Moscow in 1890 and after briefly training as a composer resolved to be a writer. He published a large number of collections of poetry, written under the burden of Soviet Russia's stringent censorship, before publishing his most famous work, Doctor Zhivago, in 1958. This novel won him the Nobel Prize for Literature but the USSR's hostility to the West meant he was forced to turn it down. He died in 1960.
