Just a little information on Boris Pasternak,
the man who wrote Doctor Zhivago
Boris (Leonidovich) Pasternak (1890-1960)
Russian poet, whose novel DOKTOR ZHIVAGO brought him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958. Pasternak had to decline the honour because the protests in his home country. The novel was banned in the Soviet Union and Pasternak was expelled from the Union of Soviet Writers. After Doctor Zhivago had reached the West, it was soon translated into 18 languages.
