...roster of the great Russian novelists of this century must include Mi khail Sholokhov, Boris Pasternak and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Sholokhov (The Quiet Don) and Pasternak (Doc tor Zhivago) were both Nobel prize winners. Solzhenitsyn's recently published The First Circle and Cancer Ward firmly established him as the greatest living writer of Russian prose today (TIME Cover, Sept. 27). Last week, in di verse manners and locales, important new works by all three men simultaneously appeared...
...dismissed the question of "transcendance and acceptance" as "sounding too much like a critic," but at other moments talked offhandedly of Pascal ("The spirit doesn't have any business denying things in the realm of fact"), St. Augustine ("The soul is complete in every part of the body"), and Pasternak.

At a poetry reading in London in 1962, he contemptuously called Olga Ivinskaya, Boris Pasternak's great love and the model for Dr. Zhivago's Lara, a "currency smuggler."

...Thinking Being. Kosterin's recent dismissal from the Soviet Writers Union, said Grigorenko, placed him in the admirable company of Boris Pasternak. Novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn was almost kicked out, he added, "although it is Solzhenitsyn who confers honor on the Union of Writers by being its member, while the union adds nothing to Solzhenitsyn." Then, returning to the hard life of his friend, he paid final tribute to a valiant spirit and, in the process, movingly described the source of intellectual discontent in today's Russia. "A person, in Kosterin's idea, is a thinking being. Therefore...
...World. First editions of Balzac, Stendahl, and Baudelaire. A theatre collection which includes letters of Booth, working scripts of Jean Renoir, letters of John Gielgud, and manuscripts of Shaw. First editions of Appolinaire, Claudel, Camus. Four of Banhoeffer's manuscripts, written during his imprisonment. Letters of Gorkii and Pasternak, of Joyce, O'Casey, Eliot, and Yeats.
