SUMMARY:Russian Book Club: Pasternak. Doctor Zhivago
DESCRIPTION:Our book club is for anyone who is interested in Russian literature but is daunted by the prospect of reading a complete work in the original! \nEach month we select a classic or contemporary Russian literary work to read in translation. While our discussions are held in English\, we incorporate excerpts and quotes in Russian into the sessions to provide an authentic experience. The club is hosted by an experienced teacher\, who will tailor the language element to the levels of the participants. So whether you’re an elementary or advanced learner of Russian\, our book club welcomes all levels of proficiency. \n“Boris Pasternak’s masterpiece brings to life the drama and immensity of the Russian Revolution through the story of the gifted physician-poet\, Zhivago.” John Bayley \nThere are three translations of Doctor Zhivago – one by Hayward and Harari which is considered to be easily flowing but liberal\, another one by Pevear and Volokhonsky which is meticulously literal\, and one most recent and maybe closest to the original but hard to find and lavishly priced  (it was a special edition published by Folio Society) by Nicholas Pasternak Slater \nDoctor Zhivago: Amazon.co.uk: Pasternak\, Boris Leonidovich\, Pevear\, Richard\, Volokhonsky\, Larissa: 9780307377692: Books \nDoctor Zhivago: Amazon.co.uk: Boris Pasternak\, Max Hayward\, Manya Harari: 9780099448426: Books
