A Vanished Present
"An affectionate remembrance of a Russian childhood and youth - before and after the Revolution. In this beautifully written and evocative memoir, Alexander Pasternak describes the life of a family and of a bygone age. With an architect's practiced eye, he records the streets, squares, and people of old Russia; with true Russian warmth, he chronicles the intimate life of one of the most cultured families of the dying Czarist empire. There are vignettes of Tolstoy, whose works his father illustrated, and of Scriabin, whose music his mother played on the piano. There are warm and humorous recollections of his brother, Boris, and of his classmate Mayakovsky, and rich memories of houses and markets, carriages, cobbles, and churchbells. This is a book full of the sounds and smells, lights and shadows, of a vanished day." --

Boris Pasternak
This authoritative new biography of the Russian poet and prose writer Boris Pasternak is the first part of a two-volume set, covering the period 1890-1928. Drawing on archives and many eyewitness accounts, Barnes' study sheds light on currently unexplored aspects of Pasternak's character and family background, and his artistic, social and historical environment. He combines biographical investigation with detailed textual analysis of translated quotations in verse and prose to reveal the source of Pasternak's extraordinary writings. The book examines a wide range of topics that include his musical enthusiasm and relations with Scriabin, his philosophical studies, his activities in World War I and his response to the 1917 revolutions, and his stance as a liberal artistic intellectual in the 1920s.
