Lifetime edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1935 collection represents a significant lifetime publication of Boris Pasternak, appearing at a complex juncture in both his literary career and the Soviet political climate. Published as a second edition just a year after his prominent speech at the First Congress of Soviet Writers, the volume offers a comprehensive look at Pasternak’s poetic output before his shift toward translation work in the late 1930s. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of Pasternak’s lyrical world, including the arrangement of cycles from his early Futurist-influenced works to the profound nature-driven philosophy of My Sister, Life and Themes and Variations. This edition captures the poet's unique voice—characterized by dense imagery, rhythmic complexity, and an intense sensory connection to the world—at a time when he was still recognized as one of the leading figures of the Soviet literary vanguard.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is also a fine example of Soviet book design of the mid-1930s. The binding, half-title, and decorative headpieces were designed by Mark Kirnarsky, a master of graphic arts known for his elegant and balanced compositions. A standout feature is the tipped-in woodcut portrait of Pasternak by Nikolai Dmitrievsky, which captures the poet's striking profile with the stark, expressive lines characteristic of the period's woodblock tradition. This copy features a contemporary owner’s gift inscription on the title page, adding a layer of personal provenance to the historical value of the volume. For bibliophiles, collectors of Silver Age remnants, and scholars of Russian modernism, this 1935 Moscow imprint is a vital primary source, documenting Pasternak’s status in the Soviet literary hierarchy before the era of official censure and the eventual writing of Doctor Zhivago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963116126250,"sku":"EB-306594933815","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_9544590e-899c-440c-a39b-0dc6b25a7e4d.jpg?v=1768161397","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/pasternak-poems-in-one-volume-1935-%d0%bf%d0%b0%d1%81%d1%82%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%bd%d0%b0%d0%ba-%d1%81%d1%82%d0%b8%d1%85%d0%be%d1%82%d0%b2%d0%be%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%bd%d0%b8%d1%8f-%d0%b2-%d0%be%d0%b4%d0%bd%d0%be%d0%bc-%d1%82%d0%be%d0%bc%d0%b5","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
