... always happy Dr. Kalinkow

The story of an individual, embedded in the turmoil and destiny of an epoch at the turning point to a new era, which may be scary-tasting future. Affected by the horror of the occurrence, and always with the utmost care, a profoundly humane stream of narrative develops. Anna Karnikova unfolds the panorama of a story that catapults the epic depth of Pasternak’s Doctor Zhivago into our present. The tragedy of the struggle for a happiness that seems unattainable. Told intimately and precisely with immensely powerful language.
The classic edition of the great international novel by Anna Karikova in the version of the first English translation by Horst Gregorionov. With an epilogue by Peter W. Smith, a list of places and regions and many detailed maps.
