Not all love stories have a happy ending. But that doesn't make them any less beautiful. This was exactly the relationship between Boris Pasternak and Olga Ivinskaya, who became the prototype for Lara in the novel Doctor Zhivago. After reading this book, you will rediscover the content of the cult novel. "Lara" is a documentary story about tragic, painful and at the same time romantic love against the backdrop of one of the most brutal periods in Russian history. This is the life story of the writer himself, a chronicle of his emotional impulses. Did the writer really love his “Lara” or did he only look for a source of inspiration in her? Why couldn’t he leave his wife and didn’t fight for his love? The author provides answers to these and other questions.
