The novel chronicles the life of Yuri Zhivago, a physician and poet torn between his devotion to his family and his passionate, ill-fated love affair with the enigmatic Lara, as the Bolshevik Revolution and the Russian Civil War reshape the world around him. Written with lyrical intensity and profound moral depth, the narrative captures the crushing weight of history upon the individual soul, presenting a devastating portrait of a society in violent transformation. Originally suppressed by Soviet authorities and first published in Italy in 1957, the novel went on to win Pasternak the Nobel Prize in Literature — an honour he was forced to decline under political pressure. A timeless masterpiece of world literature, Doctor Zhivago stands as both a tender human drama and a powerful testament to the enduring power of art and love in the face of ideological tyranny.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893810671835,"sku":"2026200009165-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/43d2d0fc-47fc-4ee7-bf05-02163897c789.png?v=1782040529","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009165-secondhand-doctor-zhivago","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
