Abstract

B. Pasternak's novel Doctor Zhivago is recognized by many researchers as a Christian novel. The author defined it as 'my Christianity'. The article considers how a Christian theme and that one of nature connected with the former are revealed in Pasternak's works by means of his reference to the Gospel of John. Such symbolic images as a tree, a garden, that are meaningful for Pasternak, and concepts of love, death, and the word ascend to this Gospel in their Christian nature.
