Description
xBoris Pasternak is best known in the West for his epic novel Doctor Zhivago, whereas in Russia he is most celebrated as a poet. The two poetry collections offered here in translation are chronological and thematic bookends, and they capture Pasternak's abiding and powerful vision of life: his sense of its beauty and terror, its precariousness for the individual, and its persistence in time--that vitality of being with which he is on familiar and familial term.

xBORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK (1890-1960) was a Nobel Prize-winning Russian and Soviet poet of Jewish descent, novelist and translator of Goethe and Shakespeare. In Russia, Pasternak is most celebrated as a poet. My Sister Life, written in 1917, is one of the most influential collections of poetry published in the Russian language in the 20th century. In the West he is best known for his epic novel Doctor Zhivago, a tragedy whose events span the last period of the Russian Empire and the early days of the Soviet Union. JAMES E. FALEN is an emeritus professor of Russian at the University of Tennessee. He is the translator of acclaimed editions of Pushkin's Selected LyricPoetry. Falen's translation of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin is widely considered to be the one most faithful to Pushkin's spirit.
