The conflict between Soviet Communists and Boris Pasternak over the publication of
Doctor Zhivago did not end when he won the Nobel Prize, or even when the author died.
Paolo Mancosu tells how Pasternak's expulsion from the Soviet Writers' Union left
him in financial difficulty. Milan publisher Giangiacomo Feltrinelli and Sergio d'Angelo,
who had brought the typescript of Doctor Zhivago to Feltrinelli, were among those
who arranged a smuggling operation to help him. After Pasternak's death, Olga Ivinskaya,
his companion, literary assistant, and the inspiration for Zhivago's Lara, also received
some of the Zhivago royalties. After the KGB intercepted Pasternak's will on her behalf,
the Soviets arrested and sentenced her and her daughter, Irina Emelianova, to eight
years and three years of labor camp, respectively. The ensuing international outrage
inspired a secret campaign in the West to win their freedom.Mancosu's new book-the
first to explore the post-Nobel history of Pasternak and Ivinskaya-provides extraordinary
detail on these events, in a thrilling account that involves KGB interceptions, fabricated
documents, smugglers, and much more. While a general reader will respond to the dramatic
human story, specialists will be rewarded with a rich assemblage of new archival material,
especially letters of Pasternak, Ivinskaya, Feltrinelli, and d'Angelo from the Hoover
Institution Library and Archives and the Feltrinelli Archives in Milan
