 The Philosopher’s Poet: Boris Pasternak, Dr. Zhivago, and Whitehead’s Cosmological Vision
Zhivago is not a mere literary or aesthetic event, but the human document of an artist who himself was early a student of philosophy.
Zhivago without grappling with the philosophy which permeates it would be like trying to comprehend Whitehead without reflecting on his imagery and metaphors.
Yet it is left to Yurii Zhivago to move decisively beyond cosmological sensibility to more or less sustained cosmological reflection proper, to speculation on the relation of the natural universe to human life in all its facets.

 Masterpiece Theatre | Doctor Zhivago
Boris Pasternak was a beloved Russian poet trying to steer clear of politics when he wrote Doctor Zhivago, an impressionistic account of the period surrounding the Revolution.
Completed in 1955, and based partly on his own experiences, the novel was flatly rejected for publication by Soviet authorities -- for failing "to depict the Revolution as a cream cake," as Pasternak acidly put it.
In 1988 Doctor Zhivago was finally published in Russia, where it has since earned a revered place in the post-Soviet literary canon.

 Doctor Zhivago (1965)
Since Zhivago took the point of view of the privileged class, it might seem less valuable as an examination of the Revolution’s effects, but I think this approach actually made the alterations more visible; we saw a stronger impact, since the wealthier folks were hit harder by their fall.
