This modern classic by Boris Pasternak follows the events of the Russian Revolution and of life in the young Soviet Union up to about 1939. The story is a personal account, illustrated mostly by the effects of the Revolution on the main character in the novel, Yury Zhivago. We follow the changes in Zhivago's life, and the lives of those whom he comes in contact. So it is more than a historical report - it is a very human novel.
