Boris Pasternak (1890–1960) was a Russian poet, novelist, and translator, best known for his novel Doctor Zhivago, which earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1958. However, his earlier work, The Year 1905 (God 1905), published in 1927, highlights his literary prowess in capturing the emotional and social upheavals of Russia's revolutionary era. The collection of poems and prose reflects the tumult of the 1905 Revolution, a period of political unrest and protest against Tsarist rule. Pasternak's lyrical and poignant writing explores themes of personal struggle, social change, and the philosophical questions raised by revolution. While The Year 1905 was not as internationally famous as Doctor Zhivago, it established Pasternak as a significant voice in Russian literature, offering an early glimpse into his deep engagement with the complexities of Russian history and human experience.
