Editorial Reviews - Doctor Zhivago From the Publisher It is the story of Zhivago, poet and physician, and his struggle to keep his family alive in the midst of the overwhelming chaos of the Russian Revolution. And, it is about Zhivago's love for the beautiful Lara, the woman he pursues beyond all reason, the human symbol of life's sweetness and joy.... The New Yorker, November 15, 1958 - Edmund Wilson ...one of the very great books of our time.... The incidents succeed one another with so much invention and vivacity, with such range of characterization and description, each submerges us so completely in the atmosphere of its moment of Russian life... Doctor Zhivago will, I believe, come to stand as one of the great events in man's literary and moral history. Nobody could have written it in a totalitarian state and turned it loose on the world who did not have the courage of genius.... His book is a great act of faith in art and in the human spirit. What People Are Saying I used relgious symbolisms to give warmth to the book. Now some critics have become so wrapped up in those symbols—which are put in the book the way stoves go into a house, to warm it up—that they would like me to commit myself and climb in the stove.... It seemed to me that it was my duty to make a statement about my epoch.
