Safe Conduct: An Autobiography and Other Writings

Más información sobre el libro

The 1958 Nobel Prize for Literature awarded to Boris Pasternak sparked significant scrutiny of his acclaimed novel, Dr. Zhivago, alongside his limited literary output. At that time, his works were primarily accessible through the Selected Writings of Pasternak, first published in 1949. The 1958 edition features a new introduction by Babette Deutsch, highlighting the importance of Pasternak's autobiography within the collection, which sheds light on his experiences and the cultural context of his writing in Soviet Russia.
