Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak is a novel that spans several decades of Russian history, starting with the 1905 Revolution and culminating in the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the ensuing Civil War. The story follows the life of Yuri Zhivago, a doctor and poet caught between the political and social upheaval of his time. Through his perspective, the novel explores the internal struggles of individuals in the face of profound historical change. Yuri, who is married to Tonya, falls in love with Lara, a woman also entangled in the whirlwind of revolutionary events. Through their relationship, Pasternak delves into themes of love, sacrifice, and loyalty, as the characters try to find a sense of humanity amid war and turmoil.

The novel not only focuses on the personal stories of its characters but also addresses deep philosophical questions about fate, freedom, and morality in times of chaos. Yuri’s role as both a poet and a doctor is essential to the narrative, as his worldview is shaped by both science and artistic reflection. Amid the brutality of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath, Doctor Zhivago highlights the contradictions of a country that rebuilds itself while simultaneously destroying its own human essence. Thus, the novel becomes a meditation on the resilience of the individual in the face of oppression, but also on the impossibility of escaping the impact of large historical movements.
