Book doctor zhivago5/11/2023 – Boris Leonidovich Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago They overturn the old order in a few hours or days, the whole upheaval takes a few weeks or at most years, but the fanatical spirit that inspired the upheavals is worshiped for decades thereafter, for centuries. But revolutions are made by fanatical men of action with one-track mind, geniuses in their ability to confine themselves to a limited field. Wars and revolutions, kings and Robespierres, are history’s organic agents, its yeast. History cannot be seen, just as one cannot see grass growing. While browsing the stalls at the book market in the Hague, I have recently found a remnant of the ideological war that had crushed many lives, including the life of Boris Pasternak, the author of the literary work in question.
