“Doctor Zhivago” by Boris Pasternak is a magnificent tale set against the turbulent backdrop of the Russian Revolution. Following the life of Yuri Zhivago, a poet and physician, the story delves into his struggles with love and morality amidst chaos. I remember feeling utterly absorbed in Yuri’s world, with the deep, poetic prose painting a vivid canvas of human resilience and the quest for meaning. It’s a novel that lingers long after the last page is turned.
Man is born to live, not to prepare for life.
