 Vladimir Nabokov's
novels are noted for their
complicated plots and the complex attitudes they
express toward their subjects. He is probably
best known for Lolita, which deals with
the unnatural desires of Humbert Humbert, a
middle-aged pedophile. |

Pasternak was one of
the rare poets to be popular during his lifetime,
Pasternak received many letters from soldiers
serving in World War II telling him how much his
poetry meant to them. These accolades led him to
put aside his translation work and focus his
attention on the novel with which he is most
closely associated, Doctor Zhivago. |
