“Is there not an abyss between prose and poetry? Pasternak does not have this abyss. He united poetry and prose as a single art of the word,” said Academician D. S. Likhachev. Stunning metaphor, vivid images and piercing spirituality are the hallmarks of Boris Pasternak's work. His works continue the traditions of Russian and world classics, but at the same time they organically combine them with the achievements of the literature of the Silver Age and the avant-garde. In 1958, Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for significant achievements in modern lyric poetry, as well as for continuing the traditions of the great Russian epic novel." For compatriots, the awarding of the prize turned out to be firmly connected with the novel "Doctor Zhivago", published abroad. The political scandal caused by these events may have cost the writer his life. This edition, in addition to the novel "Doctor Zhivago", includes the novels "The Apelles Line" (1918), "Childhood Luvers" (1922), "Airways" (1924), "Certificate of Conduct" (1931), "People and Positions" (1956), revealing the unique talent of Pasternak as a prose writer.
