Doctor Zhivago.
"TO BE A WOMAN IS A GREAT ADVENTURE; TO DRIVE MEN MAD IS A HEROIC THING": First Illustrated Edition in English of Boris Pasternak's Masterpiece Doctor Zhivago
PASTERNAK, Boris.
New York: Pantheon Books, 1958.
First illustrated edition of the work which garnered Pasternak the Nobel Prize in literature. Octavo, original cloth, original slipcase. Fine in a near fine slipcase. Illustrations by Alexander Alexeieff. Translated by Max Hayward and Manya Harari. An exceptional example of this literary highspot.
In his 1958 New Yorker review, Edmund Wilson called the novel "one of the very great books of our time Doctor Zhivago will, I believe, come to stand as one of the great events in man's literary and moral history." It was not allowed to appear in the Soviet Union until 1987, twenty-seven years after the author's death. The novel was made into a film by David Lean in 1965, and since then has twice been adapted for television, most recently as a miniseries for Russian TV in 2006.
