First English Edition

"For four and a half decades, Boris Pasternak and his cousin Olga Freidenberg carried on a correspondence that expressed their most intimate feelings on life, literature, and the world around them.  With an unfailing sense that distinguished the significant from the trite, the genuine from the false, they wrote of themselves - and of a society in revolution, a country torn apart by the brutality of Stalinism and the horrors of World War II" [from the dust jacket]
