Boris Pasternak

1890–1960

View full profile →

Boris Pasternak (1890–1960) was a Russian poet, novelist, and translator, best known for his epic novel Doctor Zhivago, which earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1958. Born into a creative family—his father was a painter, his mother a pianist—he was deeply influenced by Symbolism and later developed a unique poetic voice that blended lyrical intensity with philosophical reflection. His work often grappled with the tension between individual freedom and historical determinism, leading to his persecution by Soviet authorities.
