She helped in his work, and represented him in his dealings with publishers, the Soviet authorities, and the outside world in general. More than this, she provided the essential inspiration for him in the writing of the novel, serving as the prototype of its heroine, Lara. ***Because of her association with Pasternak (whom the Soviet secret police was reluctant to molest directly, in view of his universally acknowledged standing as one of Russia's greatest poets), Madame Ivinskaya was twice imprisoned in a forced labour camp - first from 1949 to 1953, and a second time after Pasternak's death from 1960 to 1964. After her return to Moscow from her second imprisonment, Madame Ivinskaya began to write this book, which was completed in 1972. "A Captive of Time", apart from giving an intimate picture of Pasternak in his later years, will bring home to readers in the West, as very few other books have done, what it was like to live in Moscow during the final demented stages of Stalin's rule, and then in the anxious, uncertain times that followed under his successor, Nikita Khrushchev.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A first edition, and first edition in English, in very good condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
