First edition of Pasternak’s war poems.

In 1940, Pasternak abandoned the style of his early poetry ‘and began writing in a new way, falling “as though into heresy, to an unheard-of simplicity” (from the poem “Zdes’ budet vse perezhitoe”) … His collections “Na rannikh poezdakh (On Early Trains, 1943), “Zemnoi proctor” (The Terrestrial Expanse, 1945), and “Kogda razguliaetsia” (When the Weather Clears; 1956-1959) embody the lucid and profound verse of this period’ (YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe).

Tarasenkov p. 295.
