Black and white wraps. Two sets of photographs some in colour in the text. Flat signed by the author in blue ink without dedication to the title page. 'Doctor Zhivago' has sold in its millions yet the true love story that inspired it has never been fully explored. Pasternak would often say 'Lara exists, go and meet her', directing his visitors to the love of his life and literary muse, Olga Ivinskaya. They met in 1946 at the literary journal where she worked. Olga paid an enormous price for loving 'her Boria'. She became a pawn in a highly political game and was imprisoned twice in Siberian labour camps because of her association with him and his controversial work. Her story is one of unimaginable courage, loyalty, suffering, tragedy, drama and loss. Drawing on both archival and family sources, Anna Pasternak's book reveals for the first time the critical role played by Olga in Boris's life and argues that without Olga it is likely that Doctor Zhivago would never have been completed or published. Bellyband in near fine condition from the bookseller. Scarce in signed state. Signed by Author(s).

First Edition Signed
First edition in English of the work which garnered Pasternak the Nobel Prize in literature. Octavo, bound in full crushed levant morocco by the Harcourt Bindery with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, gilt ruling to the front and rear panels, gilt-ruled inner dentelles stamp-signed by the Harcourt Bindery, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Translated by Max Hayward and Manya Harari. 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.
