Boris Pasternak is a Russian literary theorist, poet, translator, and novelist. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958.
In his autobiography, A Captive of Memory, Pasternak wrote: "I have never been able to forget, never been able to escape from my vision of a world whose beauty was as much a torment as a consolation, a world where the truth I sought was always too remote for me to reach, a world where I would have been happy if life had allowed me to be happy, but where the truth I sought was always too remote for me to reach."
He said:
"For a long time I have felt that the only thing I have in common with my mother is that we are both Russian. She is a Russian writer who has become an American citizen. I am a Russian writer who has become an American citizen. We are both Jews. She is a Jew who has become an American citizen, while I am a Jew who has become an American citizen. I think the difference between us is that she has become an American citizen while I have remained one.
Boris Leonidovich Pasternak (10 February [O.S. 29 January] 1890 – 30 May 1960) was a Russian poet, novelist, and literary translator. In his native Russian, Pasternak's first book of poems, My Sister, Life (composed 1917), is one of the most influential collections ever published in the Russian language. Pasternak's translations of stage plays by Goethe, Schiller, Calderón de la Barca and Shakespeare remain very popular with Russian audiences. As a novelist, Pasternak is also known as the author of Doctor Zhivago (1957), a novel which takes place between the Russian Revolution of 1905 and the Second World War. Doctor Zhivago was rejected for publication in the USSR and the manuscript had to be secretly smuggled to Italy for publication. Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958.
