SINOPSIS

THE LAST SUMMER , which has an autobiographical basis, is set in the winter of 1916, when the central character, Serezha, visits his married sister. Tired after long journey, he falls into a restless sleep, and half-remembers, half-dreams the incidents of the last summer of peace before the First World War, ‘when life appeared to pay heed to individuals’.

As tutor in a wealthy, unsettled Moscow household, he focused his intense romanticism on Mrs Arild, his employer’s paid companion, whilst spending his night with the prostitute Sashka and others.

In this evocation of the past, the characters are subtly etched against their social backgrounds, and Pasternak imbues the commonplace with his own intense and vivid poetic vision.
