The texts range from 1910 to 1946 and are between two and ninety pages long. There are commentaries on all the texts, as well as a final essay on Pasternak's famous novel, Doctor Zhivago, which is looked at here in the light of what it says on art and inspiration. Although universally acknowledged as one of the great writers of the twentieth century, Pasternak is not yet sufficiently recognized as the highly original and important thinker that he also was. All his life he thought and wrote about the nature and significance of the experience of inspiration, though avoiding the word "inspiration" where possible as his own views were not the conventional ones. The author's purpose is (a) to make this philosophical aspect of his work better known, and (b) to communicate to readers who cannot read Russian the pleasure and interest of an "inspired" life as Pasternak experienced it. 410 0$aStudies in Russian and Slavic literatures, cultures and history. 606 $aCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 606 $aAnthologies 615 0$aCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 615 0$aAnthologies. 676 $a891.71/42 700 $aPasternak$b Boris Leonidovich$f1890-1960.$0159410 701 $aLivingstone$b Angela$0921000 712 02$aNational Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W.
