Sign in1956. Boris Pasternak presses a manuscript into the hands of an Italian publishing scout with these words: 'This is Doctor Zhivago. May it make its way around the world.' This book offers a portrait of Pasternak, and takes us deep into the Cold War, back to a time when literature had the power to shape the world.
