It’s Fine Press Friday!

First published in 1922, My Sister-Life by Boris Pasternak is here translated by Mark Rudman, Illustrated by Yuri Kuper and published by the Limited Editions Club, New York, 1991.

Russian poet, Boris Pasternak wrote My Sister-Life in 1917 in the summer after the October Revolution. Pasternak's poems were received with enthusiasm by young intellectuals as “spontaneous outbursts of a genius.” However, Pasternak did not receive worldwide acclaim until after 1958, when his only novel, Doctor Zhivago, was first published in Europe. Pasternak was nominated for a Nobel Prize in literature, but because of an anti-Pasternak campaign by Soviet Russia, and the banning of his book in Russia for being anti-Soviet, acceptance would have appeared traitorous, so he declined the award.

Subsequently, most of his work was translated and widely read in the western world. My Sister-Life is considered to be one of the world’s great love poems.

Russian born British painter, Yuri Kuper’s etchings accompany Pasternak’s poems. The etchings are printed in a grey or graphite ink, which complements the handmade papers. The objects in the etchings seem to form order within a field of texture and tone. Similarly the text takes shape over a soup of letters in the papers.

The papers used for the text and cover were made by H.M.P Mill in Woodstock Connecticut, to resemble the stock produced in 1920’s Russia. The Cyrillic letters used for inclusions in the paper are from various recycled texts. The text was set in eighteen-point English Monotype Scotch Roman by Dan Carr and Julia Ferrari at Golgonooza Letter Foundry and printed at Wild Carrot Letterpress in Hadley, Massachusetts, in an edition of 250 copies signed by the artist. London graphic designer Michael Anikst designed the edition. Aldo Crommelynck printed the etchings in Paris, on Hahnemuhle paper.

hello ! calligraphy, candlelight, and calamity for the ask game :D

Heyy, thanks for the ask!!

calligraphy— black, blue, or red ink for pens?

I prefer blue, but i have this resolution where i never buy pens and just use whichever free pens i can get my hands on, so i write in black ink a lot too

candlelight— what is your favorite book, if any, and why?

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, i think the writing is amazing and it's so epic like it's a whole look into one's life and it deals with its themes of grief and addiction and coming-of-age so well and it's so raw.

Boris Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago is a close second, another epic and beautifully written book about the entire lifetime of a person and about love and about all the political upheavals of early 20th century russia/ussr!

calamity— how do you feel about poetry and other forms of creative writing? do you write or do you prefer to read?

I mainly read prose and very occasionally drama, i'm more picky about poetry but i think it's one of those things that really depend on the reader more than a lot of other forms of art, and sometimes i do find poems that stick with me for ages (like Frank Bidart's The War of Vaslav Nijinsky that i read the other day and i can't stop thinking about)

I'm mainly a reader, but i occasionally dabble in writing too. idk if i can say i prefer one or the other because they are very different activities to me! i love writing, i just do less of it and i don't think that's something i could dedicate all of my energy to :')

Dark academia asks

#no i don't think i have bought a new pen since like 2019 #but i mainly write with refillable mechanical pencils so it's not much of a problem #ask game

Boris Pasternak's Last Summer: Hidden Narratives and Unexplored Themes

Why Boris Pasternak Refused the Nobel Prize

Boris Pasternak's refusal of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1958 remains a poignant moment in literary history. The acclaimed Russian author, renowned for his masterpiece "Doctor Zhivago," declined the prestigious honor under pressure from Soviet authorities. Pasternak faced severe backlash from the Soviet government, which viewed his portrayal of the Russian Revolution critically. Fearing persecution and the potential harm to his family, Pasternak made the difficult decision to decline the Nobel Prize, a move that reflected the complex interplay between art, politics, and personal safety during the Cold War era. Pasternak's rejection of the Nobel Prize was not a disavowal of the literary community's recognition but a pragmatic response to the harsh realities of Soviet censorship. His principled stance against compromising his artistic freedom in the face of political coercion underscores the profound commitment of writers to the integrity of their work.

Boris Pasternak, the composer: Piano Sonata in B Minor (sheet music)

https://dai.ly/x80r0qr

Boris Pasternak, the composer?

Russian poet and author, he is one of the most significant figures in Russian literature. Boris Pasternak was born on February 10, 1890, in Moscow, into a cultured family of Jewish origin and studied at the universities of Moscow and Marburg (Germany). He also studied music during his youth, although he abandoned it to pursue poetry. His first book of poems was The twin between the clouds (1914), which was followed by others, such as Above the barriers (1917), My sister, life (1922) and The second birth (1932). Although the influence of late 19th century symbolism, with its emphasis on mysticism, pure aesthetics, and impressionism, is evident in his work, these poems reveal a new aesthetic based especially on unusual image associations and a philosophical look at nature and history. These works consecrated him as a magnificent Russian poet of his time, although communist-leaning literary critics reproached him for not following the line established by socialist realism, which meant that after 1932 he was able to publish only two collections of poems, On morning trains (1943) and The vastness of the earth (1945). Boris Pasternak had to make a living carrying out quite remarkable translations of the works of Shakespeare, Goethe and Verlaine. His only novel, Doctor Zhivago (originally published in Italy in 1957), was rejected by Soviet publishers for its veiled critique of communism in their country, but earned international recognition after its publication in the West, to the point that it became to be translated into 18 languages and adapted for the cinema. The novel tells a story of wandering, spiritual isolation, and love, and presents a panoramic view of Russian society in the years of the 1917 Revolution. The protagonist, Dr. Zhivago, is an intellectual whose sincerity, religious convictions, and independence of spirit they clash head-on with the theory and practice of the Soviet regime. Boris Pasternak won and accepted the Nobel Prize in 1958, but was denounced as a traitor by various Soviet communist groups, after which he publicly announced his desire not to go into exile and refused the prize. He was the first to refuse this distinction. The book was translated and published in Italy in 1957, the anger of the Soviet authorities increased the popularity of the book, which was published worldwide, and the CIA used it as a cultural weapon against the Soviets. Pasternak's post-success work insists on the universal questions of love, immortality, and reconciliation with God. The poems in his last collection, which he wrote until his death, are possibly the most appreciated and well-known of his production. Boris Pasternak died on May 30, 1960, near Moscow. Doctor Zhivago was finally published in the Soviet Union in 1987 due to President Mikhail Gorbachev's newly inaugurated “openness” (Russian: glasnost) policy, and its author was officially rehabilitated. Among his other works are the autobiography Safe Conduct (1931) and a memoir published in 1957.
