Illustrated by Leonid Pasternak
Translated by Nicolas Pasternak Slater
Introduced by Ann Pasternak Slater
Commissioned by The Folio Society, Nicolas Pasternak Slaters definitive new translation of the Nobel Prize-winning Doctor Zhivago is illustrated with original paintings by Boris Pasternaks father, Leonid, with a new introduction by the authors niece.
Originally published as a sell-out leatherbound Limited Edition, the Folio production of Doctor Zhivago brings together the creative brilliance of three generations of the Pasternak family for the first time. Commissioned exclusively for Folio, the authors nephew Nicolas Pasternak Slater wrote what is coming to be regarded as the pre-eminent translation of Boris Pasternaks novel. The authors niece, literary critic Ann Pasternak Slater, has crafted an absorbing introduction that examines the remarkable poetic structure of the book, while the eloquent poems of the novels protagonist Yuri Zhivago are presented in English with translations by both Nicolas and the authors sister Lydia Pasternak. This new cloth-bound edition is beautifully illustrated with 68 paintings and sketches by the authors father Leonid, including an emotive portrait of Boris on the slipcase and a striking gold-blocked candle motif on the binding.
