Book Description:
|
The story of the Russian intelligentsia after Stalin is poorly chronicled. Zubok turns a compelling subject into a portrait as intimate as it is provocative. Zhivago's children, the spiritual heirs of Pasternak's noble doctor, were the last of their kind--an intellectual and artistic community committed to a civic, cultural, and moral mission.
