I was looking for the ORIGINAL western version. The poems were translated by Max Heyward & Manya Harari.
But at the time i purchased (and returned) this edition, while listing those translators,
it was not immediately apparent that the poems themselves were not the familar translation i remembered.
The poetry was evidently translated by the 'compiler' Bernard Guilbert Guerney.
I mention this only because any one who first encountered Pasternak's poetry in the original editions
and who really wishes to re read the poems they almost remember, will not find them here.

Under Promised & Over Delivered!, July 22 2011

I am so happy with this purchase. It was a present for my sister for her Birthday because she loves everything about Russia and she loved the movie. Although it was not in perfect condition, it was exactly what you said it would be. And the flaws add to the charm of this collectable. Mailing & Delivery was also as promised. Thanks for the great experience of doing business with you and making it a wonderful day for me & my sister.
