A remarkable memoir, A Captive of Time: My Years with Pasternak chronicles the passionate and turbulent love affair between Olga Ivinskaya and Boris Pasternak, the Nobel Prize-winning Russian author of Doctor Zhivago. Ivinskaya, who served as the inspiration for the novel's iconic heroine Lara, recounts her years at the centre of Soviet literary and political life, including her harrowing imprisonment in the Gulag — a direct consequence of her relationship with Pasternak. Written with unflinching honesty and translated by Max Hayward, the memoir presents an intimate portrait of one of the twentieth century's greatest writers seen through the eyes of the woman who loved him. This gripping account illuminates the brutal realities of life under Stalinist repression while also celebrating the enduring power of love and artistic freedom.
