Pasternak, Brattain, Brecht and Valentine's Week

Posted by Tel Asiado Feb 10, 2009

What do Boris Pasternak, Walter Brattain and Bertold Brecht have in common?

They have the same birthday - February 10.

This week is Valentine's Week, and for the lovestruck there's one love story of all time that will warm and inspire your hearts. I'm talking about Dr. Zhivago, a novel that made Boris Pasternak (1890) famous. Dr Zhivago has been made into a blockbuster film, produced by David Lean in 1965.
