Contact seller5-star sellerhardcover. Condition: Fine. includes dust-jacket. DETAILS: near fine dust-jacket, cover price $26.95, fresh attractive copy, fine condition yellow hardcover, essentially like a new book. FINN, PETER / COUVÉE, PETRA. The Zhivago affair: the Kremlin, the CIA, and the battle over a forbidden book. New York: Pantheon Books, 2014, st…ated First Edition, and 1st printing number line ending in 1, 352pp., . Drawing on newly declassified files, this is the story of how a book forbidden in the Soviet Union became a secret CIA weapon in the ideological battle between East and West. In May 1956, an Italian publishing scout paid a visit to Russia's greatest living poet, Boris Pasternak. He left carrying the manuscript of Pasternak's first and only novel, entrusted to him with these words: "This is Doctor Zhivago. May it make its way around the world." Pasternak believed his novel would never be published in the Soviet Union, where the authorities regarded it as irredeemable--but he thought it stood a chance in the West and, indeed, it was widely published in translation. Then the CIA smuggled a Russian-language edition into the Soviet Union. Copies were sold on the black market and passed surreptitiously from friend to friend, and Pasternak found himself in no small trouble. But his funeral in 1960 was attended by thousands of admirers who defied their government in order to bid him farewell. The example he set launched the great tradition of the Soviet writer-dissident. First to obtain CIA files providing proof of the agency's involvement, Peter Finn and Petra Couvée take us back to a remarkable Cold War era when literature had the power to stir the world.

Condition: Como nuevo. : Basándose en documentos recién desclasificados, 'El expediente Zhivago' narra la fascinante historia de cómo un libro prohibido se convirtió en un arma secreta de la CIA durante la Guerra Fría. En mayo de 1956, un editor italiano viaja a las afueras de Moscú para encontrarse con Borís Pasternak, el poeta… más importante de Rusia, y regresa con el manuscrito de su única novela, que las autoridades soviéticas no permiten publicar. A partir de este momento, la novela se convierte en un elemento clave en una trama de espionaje. La CIA publica una edición en ruso de 'El Doctor Zhivago' y la introduce clandestinamente en la Unión Soviética, donde los ejemplares son devorados, vendidos en el mercado negro y compartidos entre amigos. En 1960, miles de personas desafían al gobierno para asistir al entierro de Pasternak, rindiendo homenaje a un autor cuyo ejemplo marcó el inicio de la tradición del escritor disidente soviético. Peter Finn y Petra Couvée, los primeros en obtener documentación de la CIA que demuestra la intervención de la agencia en la difusión de la novela, nos transportan a una época singular donde la literatura tenía el poder de influir en el mundo.
