The Poems of Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak (1967 Hallmark Editions, hardcover with dust jacket) is a beautifully preserved edition of the poetic companion to Pasternak’s legendary novel. This copy is in excellent condition. It has beautiful artwork and clear text, with only minimal wear to the dust jacket. It also has a personal inscription from a previous owner, and a single page bearing a large sticker. These poems were part of the reason Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1958, a controversial event that led to intense political backlash in the Soviet Union. They symbolize the resilience of artistic expression under oppression, making the book both a powerful literary achievement and a historical artifact of resistance and integrity.
