Exilul lui Boris Pasternak
The exile of Boris Pasternak

Summary/Abstract: The study analyzes representations of exile and interprets Boris Pasternak’s vision of exile. Jivago’s Christian figure and Pasternak’s non-modern art are under focus. Boris Pasternak and his hero, Dr. Jivago, in which he projects his entire philosophy of life and art, have the power to live simultaneously the inner and the social exile, the aesthetic and the cultural exile, without any aggressiveness, without even the justified revolt of the (self) excluded from the social game, by an assumption as non-negotiable as it is calm, which confused even the Soviet authorities and Stalin himself. Boris Pasternak is an Odysseus who does not leave Ithaca. He takes alienation, social and aesthetic exile to the spiritual and inner mystical being in a solitary and singular way and into the entire European art of the 20thcentury.
