Twelve poems from the 17th chapter of Boris Pasternak’s novel Doctor Zhivago. The theme of the poems in this Nobel Prize winning novel is the life and death of Christ. These ‘biblical’ poems inspired Karasik for his first artists’ books. For this third book he made the drawings with a hair brush and the text with a steel pen (reed pen on the slipcase and cover). They are printed in black on two unbound jotters with sixteen pages each. The book and eight additional colour lithographs are held in a cardboard slipcase, printed in three colours. The artist printed the edition of 50 copies on three kinds of paper: 10 on white, 20 on ochre Verges, and 20 on grey Verges.
